Hey all, just thought I'd mention that we are having a flash chat right now at the flyway!  Hope to see you there!

Tuned in too late for the flash chat, but here's an owl sitting in the tall grass about 9:00 on the rewind.  Looks like some standup feathers on the head, a great horned owl or something else?

Video posted at the Flyway chat says the owl is a short-eared owl. It is in the same location at noon today.
Earlier, there's a raptor perching on one of the snags -- rough-legged hawk??

Thanks, Clarinda.  Rough-legged hawks are not common where I live and I've never seen one in the wild.  Beautiful raptor!

Just curious, seems like lots of old highlights lately?  Is this due to equipment problems, poor weather conditions, shortage of cam operators?

Thank you for site and all of the hours of service.

Hawk looks so regal, a first for me as well.

I am pretty sure Flyway cams are run by solar, so I am going to say poor weather conditions.

Happy New Year!!

January 2, 2022, Sunday, afternoon -- Owl -- Flyway

Think this is another appearance of the short-eared owl or possibly a barred owl.
