I took the long way home this evening and looked for Short-eared Owls in a couple of spots more or less on the way home. I had brief views of one owl far out in the fields south of Burdick Hill Road (along with dozens and dozens of deer). I had better looks at another owl at the airport. I was looking south from Snyder Rd and the owl was hunting over the west and south side of the scrubby vegetation in the middle of the open area north of the terminal.
It's been years since I have seen Short-eared Owls at the airport, but it's still wonderful habitat and they've probably been there.
