Short-eared Owl

Please view LARGE? and check out the whole series...

You just never know when a photo-op is going to present itself. I was driving towards the 72nd Street dike in Ladner when I noticed this fellow flying very low along the ditch looking for a snack. He then sat on a post and for the next 20 minutes he sat and posed for me in so many ways it was unimaginable. I think I rattled off about 150 frames...these are the best of them. I sure hope that you enjoy them as much as I did taking them...It was a magical moment! :-)

Fantastic capture. I have been the Boundary Bay by 72nd often, usually looking for Snowy Owls, and did notice on occassion a short earled owl, but always too far and flying, to get anything like this.

Spectacular shot of a great looking bird !
