Another Search for a Morgan County Snowy Owl

January 18, 2020

Richard Stevens:

High temperature today was 43 degrees.  Winds were 8-9 mph with gusts to 18 mph.

Terry Michaels and I spent the day again searching unsuccessfully for the Snowy Owl reported near Riverside Reservoir.  The rancher who reported the owl is adamant that it is a Snowy Owl.

We did not relocate it.  A couple of Lapland Longspurs were found along Morgan CR 4.

We found a Swamp Sparrow along the western side of Andrick Wildlife Area.

A hike to the northwest corner of Jackson Reservoir 30 minutes before sunset found a Short-eared Owl flying back and forth across the field to the northwest.
