While driving home from volleyball tonight about 7:45pm I spooked on shoulder of WCR 100 (at what would be WCR 25) a probable Short-eared Owl--flew across my car and posture on road sorta looked like this:

Guess it could be a Long-eared (size) but I doubt it. This makes three over the last few years I/my wife and I have either spooked either off shoulder, road pavement and actually we got great looks at one atop one of the small deciduous trees on south (prairie dog colony on north) of area mentioned above. When I deliberately search for them (more like hope for) along WCR 100 I usually get the big "nada". We also spooked three more (hanging out on road and shoulder)-few months back near our house along WCR 33.
