Hi Dick and members: you can add Am. Kestrel, Red-tailed hawk, Rough-legged
Hawk, Snowy Owl and Short-eared Owl to the interior list for February. All
seen around Kamloops in the last 2 days. The immature Snowy Owl I am sure
is the same one that I photographed back in November, so it is nice to see
that it is surviving. I am not sure if the other 3 are still present but
certainly it is not snow pack that is an obstacle to hunting. There is no
snow where these birds are wintering at over 1000m asl.
This seems to be a big winter for Short-eared Owls as well. Groups of up to
5 have been seen locally.
