Marilyn Lobos saw this owl perched in her yard in North Arlington last month and offered to share her photo with the Meadowlands Nature Blog.
The Meadowlands gets a few of these noctural raptors each winter, but they tend to be far more secretive than this.
More on Long-eared Owls here. (Thanks, Marilyn!)
wow. look at how the pupil dilation is so different. no wonder these guys have great eyesight.
Thanks for that really observant comment — I had not noticed.

Nothing cool ever lands in my back yard. 🙁

Great Picture, Seeing this Owl in your back yard must been a nice surprize.
