I found this Great Horned Owl sitting on a nest not far from my house on Sunday.

March Big Day
Jim Malcom and I did a Shawnee County big day for March on Saturday. We finished the day with 87 bird species. As a bonus, Jim’s quick eye spotted a
Mourning Cloak butterfly in Felker Park.
The day started at Shawnee State Fishing Lake where we found 15 Greater
Prairie Chickens, a Merlin, 5 Baird’s Sandpipers, and a bunch of Song and Fox
Sparrows. We moved on to Shawnee Lake where
the best find were two Horned Grebes. A
Great-tailed Grackle was heard calling at Iwig’s Dairy. We finished at Colbenz Marsh where we found two
Greater Yellowlegs, four Wilson’s Snipe and an American Pipit. For the week-end, I gained 10 new species,
bringing my total to 156.
