Short-eared Owl, Benton Lake NWR

We visited Benton Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Dexter and Alisa thought it might be a good place to see some Montana birds.  47 species isn't bad for a couple of hours. The highlight was a bird I had only seen once before in 36 years of birding: Short-eared Owl. Thanks to Alisa for seeing it sitting in the brush. See the first photo.  Dexter had his good camera and was on it immediately.
