<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">Fortunately for us in Washington, Short-eared Owls are regular winter visitors to the Skagit Valley. Once you find where they are hunting, they are easy to observe, because they do hunt
during daylight, usually early morning or late afternoon, and they hunt in open fields. What’s harder is to see them actually catching and dining on their prey, as their prey is small and they usually swallow it quickly, and usually out of sight in the tall
grass, or behind a bush, etc. Fortunately, after many attempts over years, I finally got the hunt, capture, dining sequence for one Shorty!
