Subject: 2 Short-eared Owls in West Seattle today

At about 9:30am this morning I was surprised to see 2 Short-eared Owls in
West Seattle in a roughly cleared strip above the forested greenbelt on a
steep slope. They were just north of where 37th Ave SW dead-ends 3 blocks
north of Admiral Way. After they flew off, one came back (to reclaim a
kill?) to land about 20' from me and about 10' from the lawn of 2211 37th SW
.. I would never have expected them in this habitat.
