Three Recent (but not local) Pictures


Torsten Pawlowski (see post below) did make it to Iowa and did find us a Bald Eagle!  Meanwhile Ken Sapkowski snapped this Eastern Screech-owl in his yard and a Long-eared Owl* nearby!

* Thanks to Felix Perdue (read the Comments) for noticing this is a Long-eared, not a Short-eared as originally posted!

Ric, I may be wrong but isn't that a long eared owl?

Does anyone else agree or disagree with my observation?

Felix, thanks! I agree with your observation and have changed it on the post. I'll grudgingly let Ken know too, even though it may give him yet another Year Bird for 2013 -- and he really doesn't need one! ;-)
