"Pardon me, where can you get the best meadow voles for dinner?" Some short-eared owls may recommend LM's Fernald Preserve, Ohio, Site where expansive, ecologically restored grasslands support robust populations of voles and other appetizers appealing to birds of prey. Short-eared owls and northern harriers, both hunters, are some of the many birds that can be seen enjoying the site during the winter months. Watch the short-eared owl in Fernald Preserve's latest "Aha Nature Moment" video.
