Long-eared Owl (Asio otus)Observer
smccaullDescription
The owl was in a maple tree outside my front door. Well camouflaged, only saw it because 2 crows were noisily harassing it in the tree. Stayed for an hour, relocated to different branch, then to edge of garage roof. I live on an open field that was mowed last week so hawk and fox hunting activity has increased. Northern harrier seen 3 days in a row.

Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea)Observer
ckhuntDescription
For my first-ever sighting of a Prothonotary Warbler, (not so common around here), I'd have preferred a more-natural setting than him perched on the windshield of my truck, apparently attracted to Vermont's yellow inspection sticker, but sometimes one doesn't get a choice.
