Cody, Short-eared's are regular winter visitors, but most years not easy. Sometimes they fly in mid afternoon, like this one. It landed just off the side of the refuge road at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, so I took the picture at a reasonable distance from inside my car.
Really nice shot Tom! I did a guided Owl hike for Short-eared a couple years back for the Audubon, but it was at dusk so photographs were not existent. Not an easy bird here!
Oh my gosh... I have never seen any of those! Might as well do them all now and get it over with then haha
Sorry Ashley, I'll wait to post my Hawk-owl, Snowy, Saw-whet and Long-eared pics:-)
You should space out your owl spottings so I stop getting so jealous in a matter of an hour! I've only seen one, and it was flying and didn't get any pictures.
This is such a pretty picture!
