Short-Eared Owls

On a cold and blustery January day, we decided to drive northeast to Killdeer Plains Wild Life Area in search of Owls. Photographic conditions were horrid….
We were successful in locating the Short Eared Owls, and despite sleet and drizzle, were able to capture a few images.
It was such a joy seeing these birds and watching them soar and course that the images were just an extra….the real treat was in having the opportunity to see them!

In addition, we were treated to the sight of several Northern Harriers.
