Richard Stevens:
Winds were ridiculous today. Measured at 18-20 mph with gusts to 34 mph. Holding binoculars steady was a task. Bryan Ehlmann and I spent most of the day "tidying" up for a rancher friend who broke his leg in a fall. We loaded Roger into our car and went for a ride just so he could get out of the house.
We visited several neighboring ranches so Roger could show off his new cast (which was not a positive topic of conversation for him, but the neighbors razzed him with great enjoyment).
At what we refer to as private ranch # 2, a pair of Long-eared Owls are "nesting" near an old barn with, surprise a Barn Owl. The owls are been in close proximity for three or four years now; they appear leave each other alone.
We observed our second Barn Owl of the day at private ranch # 4. Our second pair of Eastern Screech-Owls was at private ranch # 5.
Not a bad afternoon in howling winds!
After dark Bryan and I walked around Roger's Ranch and found two of his resident Eastern Screech-Owls!
