Observation details

Three short-eared owls flew low around Elwood Cabin for a period of four to five minutes. The site is around 11,600ft with wetlands and tall grasses in a big open area. They were quiet, made no calls, but flew circles around the area. One dipped close to the ground right above our dog as though it was getting a closer look at him. There even appeared to be a bat flying around among them. They had blunt, mostly white faces and their underwings were white with black tips and a black spot visible on each wing.
