The Short-eared owls have been seen at the intersection of Old Frederick Rd. and route 76 as recently as Sunday evening. Stan Arnold (I think that is the right name...) and I had amazing looks at one owl that flew right over us. All we could say was WOW! Also, there was a very good report of a White-winged crossbill at Baker Park in Frederick. The bird was seen briefly in a flock of Am. goldfinches at the route 15 end of the park. The bird was described as red with dark wings with white patches, not wing bars but patches. Wilbur Hershberger Fred. Co.
