Short-Eared Owl Fly By

I went for a couple of hours to watch the short-eared owls again. This time from the viewing platform, which I usually stay away from. I was lucky they flew nearby, but not too close a few times.

They seemed to have come out earlier today than yesterday. It was before sunset started.

All pictures were taken with a zoom lens and are heavily cropped.

Tonight they spent a lot of time flying to the trees on the edge of the property, which are beyond the trails. It looked like there may have between 8-11. I wonder if it is a gathering before they head back up to northern Canada or the Arctic.

I am guessing they are just as curious at times about us as they do look in our direction. What do you think?
