The Short-eared Owls of Buck Island Rd (Tunica Co, MS)

I had the pleasure of spending the last 20 minutes of daylight with up to 5 Short-eared Owls and a max of 18 Northern Harriers at the north end of Buck Island Rd in Tunica Co, MS. Usually when I see Short-ears they come out just as the light is pretty much gone for photography, luckily these gave me a few minutes. Photos are grainy due to high ISO but not too distracting.
