After inadvertently flushing a short eared owl from the meadow at Frohring I got to watch it for 40 minutes, after it landed in a near by tree. Consulting my Sibley's I take it to be a male......it was a fairly pale coloured bird. Seen from the parking lot, looking away from the pavilion. Perched in the only tree in the meadow. He was originally settled in against the small earth mound by the parking lot. Also 3 crows, 3 bluebirds, 1 red tailed hawk.
