Media notes
Taking flight from the first location to land on the rock.
Observation details
Came flying over me from the southeast and landed about 100 yards away to say Hello. Stayed there for a short while then flew and landed on a rock a short distance away. It remained near the rock for the remainder of the observation and was there when I left. Continually scanning the horizons and gazing in my direction. Seen perfectly with the scope near the same location for over an hour. Was just a bit to the right of having both owls in the same scope view, with the Short-eared Owl being much closer. Several small planes passed by on the runway, but the owl did not move.
