Nine people joined me for a trip to see Short-eared Owls. We ended up birding at the end of Scofield Road near Buck Road, because of a post from Jay McGowan stating that at least three owls were there. When we arrived, we immediately saw three of them - one was flying, one was sitting on the ground, and the other sitting on a sign. Immediate gratification! We stayed there for over an hour. They became less active for awhile, then the activity picked up. Some of the group saw an owl nab a rodent. Eventually, FIVE Short-eared Owls showed themselves. I think that is a record for that area.
I want to thank everyone who came for making the trip so enjoyable and hope everyone gets to see them.
