We live about 40 minutes from where several Forum members have been watching Short Eared Owls so I asked on the Forum where they were seeing them.  Carol P. sent me the directions and the times to be there so we planned on going out this afternoon to see if we would get lucky.  When we got to Church Rd., we went down to where a man was parked on the North side and asked if there had been any sightings.  He said none had been seen so far today but yesterday, they saw 5 and the 2 days before, none.  We parked, waited and were soon joined by 6 other vehicles-all waiting for the first sighting. After about 20 minutes,we saw the first one come in which was eventually joined by 3 more, giving us a spectacular show! We did get some pictures but it was really hard to capture any good ones.

Sure was but they certainly are all over the place!  You can get dizzy watching while trying to get a good picture.
