12/28 Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary


Paul and I were leaving Riverlands at 2:30 heading to Columbia Bottom CA and stopped at the restrooms just down from Heron Pond. As we were getting back into the cars I noticed a big lump on a sign by Heron pond. We both glassed it and Paul thought it might be an owl. There it was, a SHORT-EARED OWL sitting on the sign with his name on it. Told him to go buy a lottery ticket.
