Serbian Owl Porn!

 I'm back in Serbia again for another Long-eared Weekender. Whenever I tell people that you can see hundreds of Long-eared Owls very easily I am usually met with by wonderment. But there are people out there that simply just can't believe that that many owls can be seen. Well my message to you doubters is to get your backside on a plane and come to witness this amazing urban phenomenon at first hand.
 In just one day my group and I recorded around 500 birds the vast majority of which were in the town square at Kikinda near the Romanian border.
 These birds are so easy to see. Some are skittish with the birds in the actual square being the most complacent.
 For every one owl that you find there are another six that you just haven't picked up.
 I can never grow tired looking at these majestic birds
