This has been a great winter for owl-watching along Disposal Road. Not only are the Snowies still around, but earlier in the year we had some great sightings of Short-eared Owls and Barn Owls as well.

Fred Nisenholz was nice enough to share several of his Short-ear shots. (Thanks, Fred!)

Note: Next week’s South Bergenite will feature a column about Short-eared owls, featuring NJMC naturalist Mike Newhouse and one of Fred’s photos. (Thanks, Mike and Fred!)

(Also a big thank you to everyone else who sent in owl pix.)
