Felt like Spring out this afternoon with temperatures just above zero.  Some early Red-winged Blackbirds singing on their breeding territory.  An obscured Great Horned Owl, 2 distant Short-eared Owls flying at dusk, and the expected American Tree Sparrows for this time of year rounded out the “making the text” part of this report.  I followed a Coyote that was hunting in the grassland for near an hour through my scope with the iPhone adapter.  I was wanting to get a clip of a successful mouse hunt but we both failed in our attempt.
