[birding] Re: Red-shouldered Hawk/Horned Owl at Starker

[Lisa Millbank]

Yesterday we found a large owl pellet at the base of a light post in the Nypro parking lot, right across Dunawi Creek from Sunset Park.  I thought it looked large enough that it was probably a Great Horned Owl's pellet.  There are quite a few Camas Pocket-Gophers in the community garden area that would be a tasty owl meal.  
There was a Red-shouldered Hawk flying toward Dunawi Creek.  We didn't have binoculars handy and couldn't tell if it was an adult or not.  Earlier in the summer, a young one was hanging around by the beaver pond.

  At 8:20 am near the drive in entrance to Starker Arts Park (45th and Country Club Drive) I heard a RSHA calling loudly.  Crows and jays were joining in.  With the leaves mostly fallen from the Ash trees, it was easy to get a good look at the Horned Owl.  The RSHA was hopping from branch to branch, quite near the owl.
