Great Horned or Long-eared Owl? (1 Viewer)

[Sborg]

Seen 26 April 2025 at Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico.

Would like help with the ID.

The facial disk and the eyebrows suggest Long-eared to me but the species is unreported at Bitter Lake. Thanks.

For me it is a long-eared.

Thank you. Can you tell me on what you based your ID?
