Occasionally I see Short-eared Owls hunting from the ground but it’s nearly always from a distance. This guy didn’t care that I was close. Very close, especially for a SEOW.
I know, I know – two Short-eared Owl posts in a row. But in my view if I’m going to double up on a species there isn’t a better candidate than Shorties.
