Just wanted to thank everyone for the great directions to the Afton short-eared owls. Today Cheri Steiny and I went out there and for sure saw two and possibly three. We parked near the trail head and the owls were seen about 3:30ish-4:00 on both sides of the road in the fields flying and hunting. We were able to walk along the trail and where it splits we got a little closer as they hunted along the hill near the fence.
Thanks again, it was a lifer for me!!!!
