I went out about a month ago trying to get an early start on searching for moose calves. While I saw many moose that morning, it was still early for babies and I ultimately headed to an area frequented by short-eared owls. While I’ve seen them consistently over the years unfortunately the last couple summers I was not successful finding them. That changed last month when I saw one, so when I went out looking for moose calves again this week with no luck, I headed back to see if the shorties stayed. Sure enough I found a pair and this one sat long enough on the sagebrush for me to get a few photos.
