Short-eared owls are beautiful birds to see anyway. It is when they sit down in front of you that you really see how beautiful they are. In my shelter tent, I had been watching a couple of these birds for hours when suddenly one decided to sunbathe on the grass in front of me. The warm light of the winter sun did the rest. They are real wanderers because wherever there is food they go. Even if they have to come from far away suddenly you have short-eared owls everywhere. It suddenly seems that the species would not be so bad after all but don't be deceived please they are. All the more reason to be careful about opportunities to capture them. If there is a field mouse infestation you are bound to have short-eared owls around. Also fun to go looking for yourself it seems to me. It's very strange but once an image is on the want you never want to lose it.
