Hi all,
I saw a previously reported Short-eared Owl at William Finley Refuge
Prairie Overlook, this evening. I first spotted it at 4:40 pm way out to
the southeast, perched in a tree. It soon began flying low, turning back
and forth, as it hunted. It did dive into the grass a couple of times,
perhaps being successful in finding prey.
A Northern Shrike perched atop the trees/bushes bordering the east side of
the Prairie Overlook parking lot.

Happy birding,
