Re: [cobirds] Re: Owl ID Help Requested [Weld]

All,

Surely, the bird is a Short-eared owl.  Long-eared should have a rusty facial disk and the big "wrist"
comma is typical of Short-eared.  Long-eared should look darker on the body.

Hi Gary, 

The barring on the flanks should indicate that it is a long eared owl.  Short-eared should not show that.

Best,

Hi all

The owl we found on Pawnee NG trip over weekend continues to be an ongoing debate-some have said Short-eared others Long-eared. I was hoping your help can help definitively ID this owl. Made a collage of available photos.

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
