Linda and I were in the Gordonsville area today and decided to run out to the Green Springs area and check on short-eared owls. We went to the usual sighting location on Rt. 617 and arrived there about 15 minutes before sundown. We weren't disappointed. A few minutes after our arrival a short-eared appeared, flying in the field in front of us. Shortly after the first one, a second owl appeared in the field behind us and when they were both in the same field we were able to clearly hear them communicating with each other. This was the most vocalization we've heard from them Bob Cole Ashland, Va 23005 804 798-6618
