A short-eared owl lives in Prospect Park.

The other morning during off-leash hours in Prospect Park, we saw a giant bird perched on the upper branches of a tree. My Audubon Society member friend told me it was “probably” a short-eared owl. 

It’s pretty neat to see other forms of wildlife, besides dogs, raccoons, horses, turtles, ducks and rats, enjoying the beautiful park.
