Description
Each fall I look forward to the arrival of Short-eared Owls! I have an old golden colored coat that I wear for camouflage in the wheat colored fields. I stand or sit in the tall grass (I'm short so cannot see over the grass most times) and hide out waiting for owls. I am utterly amazed by their keen sense of sight! You know you have been spotted when their flight pattern stutters and they circle around you with great curiosity.
