I saw 1 SHORT EARED OWL just as I pulled into parking lot at ~4:30. It flew across meadow from northeast & perched on the birdhouse in winery yard. Stayed several minutes turning its head left & right. I Got great looks. Finally flew off hunting in fields west of winery, towards lake.
Earlier I was looking for SE Owls over on Indian Field Rd. none seen, but did see several small flocks of HORNED LARKS. Later driving down Poplar Ridge Rd outside Aurora, I saw a large, handsome RED TAILED HAWK flying from tree to tree over. some corn fields.
