Re: [Maine-birds] Short-eared Owl YES

I arrived around 3:20 and walked past the end of Aviation Blvd to a point on the berm between the airport and youth center about here.

It afforded good views of three owls for a brief period . One staying west of runway 36 afforded better views. The other the other two were east of 36 and had more dips to land in. The closer owl caught something on one flight. I lost site of the far pair as they appeared to move south down the runway. When I headed back to the parking  area a couple asked if I had seen them so I took The m back down where the closer one was still visible. 

Thanks,

Refound by Jeff Stann at Portland Jetport at 2:25 PM. First seen on a white post with red stripes.  Then, when a Red-tailed Hawk flew across the field and perched in a tree, the owl flew over and circled low over the hawk. There were soft peeping sounds coming from one or the other, not sure whether from the owl or the hawk. Able to see the dark "wrists" on the mostly white underwings as it flew overhead.
