Had a chance to get out and look for the raptors that had been reported earlier this week in the Bardwell area. I had just passed Slovak Rd. on FM 984 when I saw a large raptor. I was able to pull off the road and was able to spot the Rough-legged Hawk. I continued to scan this area, when I was treated to a Short-eared Owl that was perched on a fence post. I was able to obtain a few distant but identifable photos.
