Long-eared Owl (Asio otus) (1)
- Reported Jan 07, 2016 16:15 by Becky Marvil
- Bowdoin Sand Plain, Cumberland, Maine

- Checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S26761822
- Comments: "While Rob Speirs was viewing the Short-eared Owl perched, I saw a second owl flying and followed it until it disappeared behind the shorter pines. It did not have the light colored patches on upper wings that the SEOW had while flying. Wings appeared narrower than SEOW and darker overall in flight. After losing sight of it, we started to hear it barking from a distance."
Long-eared Owl (Asio otus) (1)
- Reported Jan 07, 2016 15:45 by John Heath
- Brunswick Landing, Cumberland, Maine
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=43.8939155,-69.929502&ll=43.8939155,-69.929502
- Checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S26763370
- Comments: "We first saw this bird when it met a Short-eared Owl we were watching, the two then had an in-flight encounter, tumbling, with legs and talons outstretched. Quite a treat. This same encounter was witnessed by Gordon Smith the night before, same place, after which the Long-eared Owl flew to, and perched briefly, in a tree close to Gordon, who positively ID'd the bird.
After the encounter the LEOW departed, and we didn't see it again until approx 25 minutes later. As it grew increasingly darker, and while we had the SEOW in sight, perched to the north, Becky Marvil, who had joined us, picked up the LEOW flying back into the area....a darker bird, overall, with narrower wings. It perched very briefly to the south, then it moved and we lost it, but could hear its persistent barking call. The SEOW, now a dark lump in our scope, was still perched, and the LEOW still calling, when we left."

- Comments: "We first saw this bird when it met a Short-eared Owl we were watching, the two then had an in-flight encounter, tumbling, with legs and talons outstretched. Quite a treat. The LEOW was darker than the SEOW, of similar in size but, if anything, appeared slightly smaller. This same encounter was witnessed by Gordon Smith the night before, same place, after which the Long-eared Owl flew to, and perched briefly, in a tree close to Gordon, who positively ID'd the bird.
After the encounter, tonight, the LEOW departed, and we didn't see it again until approx 25 minutes later.

- Comments: "When we arrived we saw the bird flying low over the grasslands. Shortly thereafter, we saw it close in on a second owl of similar sized but noticeably darker overall. The two tangled briefly in flight, tumbling, legs and talons outstretched and then separated. The darker Long-eared Owl departed, and we didn't see it again until later. The Short-eared owl & Long-eared Owl had a similar encounter the night before,same place, as described by Gordon Smith, after which the Long-eared Owl flew to, and perched briefly, in a tree close to Gordon, who was able to positively ID the bird.
We watched the SEOW coursing back and forth during our time there, with a light, buoyant moth-like flight, but with nimble, sharp twist and turns, occasionally perching for periods of time. It is a blunt headed, short tailed bird that seems to be all wing. When we left, near full dark, it was perched."
