Short eared owl

This is why no one ever wants to leave the station. Since 1972 this banding station has caught 16 short eared owls in total. Since 1985 there has only been one other, until tonight. Never before has Fud seen one caught during daylight hours. It is JUST another owl, but I'll almost certainly never hold one again.
