Dunback Meadow is a not-so-large chunk of conservation land in Waltham, Ma.

It's a nice place to walk year around. But in the winter, the red pine grove becomes the favorite place for owls. In particular, Long Eared, Saw whet and Great Horned.

I've seen up to 5 long eared, 3 saw whet and 2 great horned at different times.

Unfortunately, it looks like Great Horned Owls are now nesting there, which has scared the other owls away. Who knows, we'll see what next year brings
