I had a tip from Steve Stedman about a field that looked good for Short-eared 
Owl, so I decided to give it a try, since I was so close. There were 2 N 
HARRIERS working the field, then around 5:30pm est a SHORT-EARED OWL came up! 
It climbed up high, did the wing clap, then began hunting the area. Terry 
Campbell from TN happened by and we enjoyed the owl for a bit. A nice way to 
end the day.

The Short-eared Owl field was on the north side of Hwy. 90, 8.6 miles west of 
the junction of 90 and 1275 at Monticello. I think it was in Wayne County, but 
will have to check the map.
