Actually the Short-eared Owl hunts mainly at dawn and dusk. But, a little after 2 PM, after leaving the perch, we watched it hunting on the airport side of the fence. It pounced into the snow several times, but we never saw it catch anything. It finally disappeared over the west end of the runway.

2 Dougs = 1. LOL. The thank you is on the other form.

One more shot.
Thanks every one
