Short-eared Owl at Wastewater

.
This morning (Oct. 28) at 7:10 a.m. I found a Short-eared Owl sitting in the road at the intersection of Swanson and Laketon. I had another view of a Short-eared Owl at 8:02 a.m. on Swanson Road (south of Apple) just north of the drain ditch that crosses Swanson.  Most likely the same owl.
When it got lighter, I took a quick spin around the east lagoon.  In the southwest corner there were ten grebes.  I am not sure which type they were Eared or Horned.  I also had six Greater Yellowlegs at the same spot.

All look like Eared Grebes to me.
