Last evening, right at dusk, a SHORT-EARED OWL was hunting over the north end of the giant switchgrass field on west side of Bluegrass Lane, just off Hanshaw Rd. I squeaked with my hand, and the owl came right at me, veering just 10 ft or so from my head — even my dog was fascinated and watched it fluttering above us for a few seconds.
Rumor has it, the switchgrass may get cut this weekend, so this evening might be a good time to check again. KEN Kenneth V.
