March 12 - Owl Prowl

Our first stop today was in Pelham Bay Park.  We were looking for the Owls that are prevalent during the winter months.  After a short search I was able to locate some tell-tale signs of Owl activity, and then Jennifer immediately saw the bird. It was a Saw-Whet Owl.  I had not seen this species last year, so it was nice to see it again.

Next up was our search for a species that I had not seen in many years....After a short search I was able to spot an interesting silhouette, and upon further inspection the bird was revealed to be a Long-Eared Owl !!

Lastly we made a stop at Croton Point Park and were able to locate a red-phase of the Eastern Screech-Owl.
