A first of year afternoon bird sortie to LCC marsh proved to be fairly decent with at least 1 long-eared owl.1 great horned owl and a marsh wren. The long-eared owl was perched along the willow break that runs straight down from the south end of the marsh.The willows border one of the dried up channels near the old soccor field. Bushwacked around the fields bordering the old baseball diamonds trying to flush short-eards owls but no luck The resident great horned was in the same roost it was the last time I was here over a month ago in another willow break bordering the western edge of the marsh. There was at least 1 marsh wren in the wet marshy area at the south end of the marsh in amongst the cattails Other birds of note were at least 5 red-tail hawks and a covey of about 15 bobwhites. The only sparrows I saw were some song and swamps.Have had wintering harris sparrows here the last few years but couldnt even find a white crown -Mike Brady __________________________________________________ ########################################################### * Audubon Society of Missouri's * * Wild Bird Discussion Forum * *---------------------------------------------------------* * To subscribe or unsubscribe, click here: * * https://po.missouri.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mobirds-l&A=1 * *---------------------------------------------------------* * To access the list archives, click here: * * http://po.missouri.edu/archives/mobirds-l.html * * * * To access the Audubon Society of Missouri Web * * Site: http://mobirds.org * ###########################################################
