Short-eared Owl @ Torrey Pines State Reserve
12:41 pm
High flyover at 9:21 AM (10/25/2025), to the northwest of our location (32.915103, -117.252581), estimated to be over Razor Point. I thought it was a Red-tailed Hawk at first, then noticed the rounded head through my binoculars and scrambled to get photos. Observed a notch on the wings not present on a Barn Owl and was pretty sure it was a Short-eared Owl, which the photos confirmed. The bird continued northwest out to sea until lost from view. https://ebird.org/checklist/S281308514
