I live in Altus and would like to try to find some short eared owls around here but am not sure where to look. My understanding is that they spend most of the day roosting in a field and then then hunt over fields.
My question is what kind of field should I be looking for? How tall and thick is the cover that they like to spend the day in?
I would think that for hunting purposes they would use fields that don't have cover that is too tall or thick because they wouldn't be able to see the mice and holes.
