Hackberry Flat, March 5, 2016

We went with the OCAS field trip group to Hackberry Flat WMA southeast of Frederick, OK. Over 20 people participated, including guides Lou and Mary Truex. It was a very 'owly' day. It was sunny and the temperature got to 75.

We met at Hackberry Flat WMA Center about 10AM. When we walked into the field north of the parking lot, we immediately stirred up 8 or more Short-eared Owls. I was late to get a photo, so it's a distant shot.

We went to a nearby granary where Jimmy Woodard and Lou Truex stirred up two barn owls.
