As the sun came out I decided to take a trip to see if the Short eared Owls were flying it’s a short trip and worth the effort. Two weeks ago I placed a stump near the path, which with a bit of luck an Owl will land on. They can fly close at times and in good light, but can be infrequent flyers. It’s a big area to cover and they could be in a different spot each day. Several trips over the last three weeks have proved fruitless. With local birders and dog walkers reporting no Owl activity it could be time to move on.
