Sorry for the lateness of this post, but Mary Warren asked me to share the wonderful short-earred owl sightings the Firelands Audubon group had Sunday Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area. Mary wrote: "But the highlight was at the end of the day about 5:30 pm. It was still plenty light out and I spotted a short eared owl perched low. Then we started to look and found 10 SE owls perched!!! There were 5 on one log! The more we looked the more we saw...........and I'm sure we probably missed some! It was the best looks at SE owls that I have ever had...........and a life bird for the other two people on the trip........Juanita Arwood and Carol Landefeld of Huron." They also saw lots of raptors, 12 species of waterfowl, and had great looks at Eastern Meadowlarks.
