Lance Benner discovered 3 Short-eared Owls at Messalonskee Marsh on 12/28. They weren't seen on 12/29 but were seen today. Both the 28th and today were overcast and not too windy whereas yesterday was sunny and windy. Hard to know if this is a pattern or not. Here's the eBird list from today with some pictures. The owls were seen pretty much due east of the boat launch and also to the south, both perched on snags/posts and actively hunting over the marsh. They could be seen with binoculars but a scope would be better.
-- The boat launch is just south of Hammond Lumber in Belgrade, on the east side of the road. There's a big dirt parking lot that's used for the carry-in boat launch for the marsh and lake. This site is best known for its breeding colony of Black Terns.
