It seems a little late in the owl season to see an Short Eared Owl. It was flying over 160th St from the region of Barton Sand & Gravel heading north. It was west of their front gate where the grass on the hills is a little longer.(Rosemount I believe) Sorry I don't have any better land marks. I saw tonight at 7:30pm as I was heading home. As some books say-it looked like a giant moth. At 7:30 the light was still very good so I am sure of the bird ID. Also this morning while on a birding social at Carlos Avery we saw & heard 39 species. The two highlights were the winnowing snipe flying overhead and the flock of 60+ pelicans catching thermals. And lastly-there is now a pair of Bald Eagles using the old Red-tailed Hawk nest along the Vermillion River on the south side of CR 46 between General Sieben and Pine St. Jen Vieth
