I live in Lake Oswego, Oregon, with my wife; Tui, two sons; Charlie (13) and George (10) and elderly pitbull; Maile.
Jan 11th. I visited Anderson Swale Rd in search of short-eared owl. I had to wait until it was quite dark until I saw a silent short-eared owl fly overhead. In the distance a great-horned owl called from across the pasture.
Jan 17th. Tui and I drove to Marylhurst Heights Park, where we found a screech owl after dark.
Jan 18th. I visited Luscher farm at first light and saw a barn owl.
Jan 18th. Sean Pollock showed me a nesting great-horned owl in SW Portland. We then drove out to Wilhoit Springs and found a couple of pygmy owls (we saw one), and heard a distant great-horned and four elusive saw-whet owls.
