SHORT-EARED OWL

This species is rarely encountered on the BCN Survey and accurate trends cannot be estimated. Once abundant, but already rare 40 years ago, this owl now seldom nests here, but still winters in our largest grasslands. To avoid predators, it chooses broad expanses of grassland. Grassland complexes totaling thousands of acres are critical to the survival of some species, including this one. Photo: © Ron Panzer / MCCD
