I ran into more photos of the Short-eared owls and cannot resist posting two or three more.
This one is cropped...and so is the one below.
I have been out at the strip pit area a few times this fall late of the evening and have not seen a single one. And have only seen one Northern Harrier. A few years ago, there were so many of both you would not believe it if I told you.
But I have seen several deer....this is an old photo, too. But have seen this many a time or two this fall.
And a late evening view from out there.
