[birding] Long-eared Owls at Snag Boat?

[Mark Nikas]

Randy,

    Joe Fontaine found 2 LE Owl fledglings at Snagboat 7/8/08. He reported them as being in an area closed to public access.

This record can be found in the Willamette Basin Field Notes reports for Summer 2008 at http://www.oregonbirds.org/FieldNotes/FieldNotesWillamette.html.
Right now records are available from 2006 on for all regions of the state. They are in spreadsheet format but the plan is to eventually have a searchable database in place.
As this database grows it will become a great resource available to everyone with questions like yours.

I vaguely remember someone posting something about Long-eared Owls at the Snag Boat Bend annex to Finley.  I think it was last year.  I've looked through the archives for the Mid-valley list and for Obol, but I couldn't find the post.  Could anyone set me straight?  I'm wondering when they were found and how.

Several years ago (Feb. 1, 2003) I flushed a Long-eared Owl while kayaking floodwaters through ash/willow/cottonwood forest along the outer reaches of Snag Boat.  Since then, I've taken almost every opportunity to ride the high winter waters through there, but I haven't found another.

(By the way, our Orioles fledged and flew this last week.  They make cool nests--literally: loosely but intricately woven socks that must let a lot of the wind blow through.  I couldn't do such a good job with thread, grass, and poly tarp.)
