Just to add to the Long eared Owl sightings.
The Bridgerland Audubon Society took a field trip out to Antelope Island
and we spotted 1 Long Eared Owl, hiding deep in a tree back by the fence. He
(she?) spied us and flew out of the tree, over our heads and landed in a
tree closer to the shore of the lake. Very spectacular looking bird. This was
around 11:30 am.
Other birds we saw included:
Tundra Swans
Canada Goose
Snow Bunting
Horned Larks
Common Raven
California Gull
Red Winged Blackbird
Killdeer
Common Goldeneye
Long Tailed Duck (male)
Ruddy Duck (male, female)
Bald Eagle
American Avocet
Chuckar
American Kestrel
Black billed Magpie
American Robin
European Starling
Western Meadowlark
Prairie Falcon
Good Birding!!!

Last Monday, LaNita Larsen and Amy Owen observed and reported a
Long-Eared
Owl at Garr Ranch on Antelope Island. Friday, March 5th, we
returned
to the ranch with MarJean Muhlestein and observed not one, but two,
Long-Eared Owls in the back thicket by the fence. The larger owl was
actively hunting, and once again, came up with a vole. This was in
the late
afternoon -- approximately 4:30 - 5:00 p.m.
