Late this afternoon I paid a visit to Crenshaw Rd where I parked about 1/2 mile
north of Rectortown in northern Fauquier County. When I first got out of my
car (about 5:30 pm) I didn't see any Short-eared Owls but soon heard one
vocalizing (a sound like a small dog barking) and quickly found it sitting on
the ground. Within a few minutes I clearly saw at least five Short-eared Owls
flying back & forth over the fields and perched in the trees bordering the
field.
