Owl Prowl
Marty February 7th, 2008
We went to an “Owl Prowl” tonight at Palmyra Cove, complete with a introductory session with the ‘demo owls’ as my mother-in-law called them. They had a beautiful red-morph eastern screech owl, a rather aloof Barred Owl and this beautiful western Short-eared Owl Asio flammeus.
The actual ‘prowl’ which occurred later was a bust, owl-wise, but we still had a good time seeing the owls close up and getting out and hiking. We’re hoping to go do something this weekend, so maybe I’ll get my birding fix in then.

Love these shots of the Short-eared and that screech owl was very cute! Maybe this is a great reason to go back again to see more owls??
This was the last presentation for this season, but it has inspired me to head up to some of the common sites in North Jersey to see if I can locate a short-eared owl in the wild.
That lady holding the owl has very sexy lips. Sorry, me = single and working too much.
It could have been worse - you could have said the owl has very sexy lips. Then I’d be worried.
Woah, you got some cool shots of those owls. I hope you are able to find some wild ones sometime soon. Beautiful birds.
