I'm reading something written in the last quarter of the 19th century
the Great Plains, and there's talk of the "prairie owl". I know that
this list has a few members who probably remember that era :) Anyone
know offhand if this would refer to burrowing or short-eared owl? (the
two choices that come to mind).

Thanks!
