By 9:30 we had givin up. BUT, just as we were leaving Oland Rd, I had to check out one more "plastic grocery bag" out in the field- BINGO! We were able to get about 50 feet from the bird; it completely filled the field of view in the scope. Bright sunshine,no wind,perfect. We also saw plenty of Horned Larks. From there I went to Black Hills Lake and FINALLY saw the Harly. That wasn't enough; I needed more. Around 3:30 I was back on Oland Rd with one beautiful owl in my scope!
