Short Eared Owls at Forbes Field 2018

All of the owls in this video were seen the last week of March in 2018 at Forbes Field Airport. Up to 8 owls were seen one night. They seem to winter in the area because of the short grass around the airport is ideal for hunting rodents. You hear eastern meadowlarks singing in the video. I was most amazed when a commercial jet was approaching the airport to land and it flew right over the owl. The owl wasn’t even bothered.
