Greetings all.
Did a little bit of post-rain dusk birding in Long Valley tonight. Not a whole lot of activity, however, highlights were:
* 3 Pintail Snipe
* 2 Black-Winged Stilts (down from 13 the other day, though)
* 1 Asian Barred Owlet! A lifer for me, so I was pretty thrilled.
Good birding.

I don't know there is Asian Barred Owlet in Long Valley
Thanks for your sharing.

I have only seen an owl one other time in Long Valley- a Collared Scops Owl resting in a canopy at dawn. The owl I saw this time was definitely an Asian Barred Owlet, though.
It was perched on a telephone wire near an old house and a small treeline, which it flew into once I startled it. Hopefully I'll see it again next time I go out there.

...and a Quail sp, probably Japanese (brown in colour with light stripes on the back).
