This evening,  about 6:10pm, I observed a short-eared owl flying  
"moth-like" at treetop level through our backyard, headed north. As I  
watched it turned towards the west giving me a good view of its face  
and dark upper-wing patches.  We live near Hurstbourne in the middle  
of a neighborhood so the only thing I can think of is that it was  
maybe flushed from an old tree nursery property south of where we live?

Made for a totally unexpected, great backyard list bird!
