The owl in the photos is without question a Long-eared Owl.

All,

Surely, the bird is a Short-eared owl.  Long-eared should have a rusty facial disk and the big "wrist" comma is typical of Short-eared.  Long-eared should look darker on the body.

Hi Gary,

The barring on the flanks should indicate that it is a long eared owl.  Short-eared should not show that.

Best,

    Hi all

    The owl we found on Pawnee NG trip over weekend continues to be an
    ongoing debate-some have said Short-eared others Long-eared. I was
    hoping your help can help definitively ID this owl. Made a collage
    of available photos.

    Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
