For about as long as I have been taking pictures of birds I have wanted a short-eared owl. For some reason, I just couldn't get one. Jeff Moore posted a lovely picture of a short eared owl, and I emailed him to ask about it. He very generously invited me to drive over from Michigan, and he not only showed me the owls, but drove the car while I shot out the window.... with his lens! Thank you, Jeff!
