Short-eared Owl - 72nd St Grounding Station, BC
Short-eared owls are one of our active day time owls in the winter time here in the greater Vancouver area. There is a special spot along the shoreline of Boundary Bay. This is the grounding station at 72nd street where I found my first Short-eared owl. To tell the difference between Norther Harriers, which look very similar, the owls are very flappy where as the harriers soar quite a bit.
