At 6:00AM this morning, I encountered a Short-eared Owl sitting on a
fencepost on the east side of Rt 220 in Highland County being mobbing by a
pair of Tree Swallows and a Red-winged Blackbirds. Plumage was pretty dark,
leading me to suspect that it was a female. Lat/Long as follows:
38.26010°
-79.67521°
