   There are two Long Eared Owls in the photo (you can see an owl's body just to the left of center and part of an owl's head just to the right of center).
   They were among a group of three or four who wintere
d in the Meadowlands this year.
   They are on the decline in New Jersey, likely because of habitat loss.
