Merlin and Barn Owl

["Eric Huish" <poorwill_ at hotmail dot com>]

Maybe of some interest to the UCBrs.  I went down to the Tipanogos Waste 
Water Treatment Plant today.  I caught a break between the rain and snow but 
the wind was still cold.  A Merlin was hunting the area. I saw it in a few 
different spots.  There was a Barn Owl hidden in a willow tree along the 
back fence.  It was concealed very well.  I would never have seen it had I 
not been searching through the trees looking specifically for owls.  It was 
in the smaller willow tree away from the fence just east of the large willow 
tree growing over the fence.  There were also RB Mergansers, RN Duck, 
Gadwall and such in the ponds.
