[va-bird] Short-eared Owl at BRPO Road

Hello,

    Betty Kilgore, Sonia Santa Anna, and I had great looks at a Short-eared 
Owl late this afternoon at Bull Run Post Office Road, Fairfax Co.  We first 
saw the owl about 8 or 9 minutes before 6:00 pm, when it flew from left to 
right across the field and then across the drive and disappeared behind some 
cedar trees.  Several minutes later an owl appeared again in the field on the 
left.  By then, several more people had arrived, and I think everyone had 
great looks at the bird as it flew by at close range.

    For those who may not be familiar with this site, Bull Run P.O. Road 
intersects with U.S. Route 29 just east of Manassas Battlefield.  Go north 
about 3 miles on BRPO Road until you see the posted signs on the right.  
Watch for the entrance which has just enough room for 2 or 3 cars to pull off 
the road.  Be sure to observe the no tresspassing signs; if the owl appears, 
it can be seen from the entrance.
