Today at 4:00 PM we observed a Short-eared Owl in Cades Cove,
Great Smoky Mountain National Park. It was perched in the top of a snag
on the right hand side of Hiatt Lane, about half way across the cove.
It was before the bridge. Hiatt Lane is the second two-way gravel road
that crosses the cove. After observing it
perched for five minutes, an immature Northern Harrier buzzed
it several times and it flew. We observed it in flight for another ten
minutes, getting excellent looks as it flew directly over our vehicle.
Other birds seen:
Red-shouldered Hawk
Red-tailed Hawk
Eastern Phoebe
American Crow
Carolina Chickadee
Tufted Titmouse
Eastern Bluebird
American Robin
Hermit Thrush
Dark-eyed Junco
White-throated Sparrow
Good Birding!
