OWL PROWL January 22nd

FEMALE NORTHERN HARRIER

Owls were few and far between last evening as we held our bi-weekly OWL PROWL in northern Warrick County. However, Northern Harriers were everywhere and very active. Like the Short-eared Owls, these beautiful birds of prey spend their summers in the northern grasslands of the U.S. and Canada and then come down for a few meals here in Warrick County.
The real treat for the evening was the large number of Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts that joined us, with their parents. They were very well behaved and were thrilled to get to see the Harriers fighting with each other over the grasslands and reclaimed surface mines. The best thing we can do for our future is to imprint nature on our youth. These young boys will soon grow up and take their place as the protectors of our natural world. Keep them indoors and they have no reason to make sure Northern Harriers, Bald Eagles and Short-eared Owls continue to visit southern Indiana.
