Magdalena Finally Gets Her Most Wanted - The Short-eared Owl





May 24, 2008


Late this afternoon we lucked onto a magnificent pair of Short-eared Owls. One individual was quite tame and we managed to score some nice photos in the fading light. Magdalena was thrilled, as this was her #1 most wanted bird in North Dakota. My parents have been seeing them quite regularly in past months, but it was new for my wife and I during our visit to the BIG ND. What a winner!!!

Tomorrow we are visiting the NW corner of the state. I just wonder what will be around the next corner on these long prairie roads. I'll keep you posted...

Good birding, STEVEN EASLEY
