Short-eared Owl at Wastewater Monday


December 3 Email:

We saw at least one Short-eared Owl Monday night (Dec. 2) at about 5:28 p.m.  We were on Laketon well west of Swanson about two telephone poles west of the storage building.  It was following and diving into the ditch to the north and kept circling back, so it was viewable for as long as we had light. I was able to view it using the scope.  Huge wingspan and bright round face.

Ken's wording of "at least one" and "following" probably means another or more. Trouble is, the lighting when they're flying makes it hard to see even one bird!
