[EBB Sightings] Byron Short-eared Owls

Went to Byron late this afternoon to see and photograph the owls.   
Was both lucky and unlucky. . . .

There are still 3-5 present, flying, hunting, and sitting.  Same  
field as described previously, and one on the field to the north.  So  
I was lucky to see them.  Unlucky that they seemed to stay at least  
100 yards away.  Another birder was there, who, of course, had much  
closer views than I. . . .

Also, at least three White-tailed Kites, two Harriers, one juvenile  
Red-tailed and one juvenile Swainson's were in the vicinity.

Good Luck!!
