A Short-eared Owl Flying Right At Me
I think this owl might have been trying to intimidate me or maybe he was just curious about my pickup. Either way he sure did come in close.

An Unforgettable Short-eared Owl
This individual Short-eared Owl has had a significant effect on the focus of my life as a bird photographer and nature lover.
This Short-eared Owl Very Nearly Flew In My Pickup Window Yesterday Morning
A visit to Box Elder County yesterday morning resulted in a very close encounter with a female Short-eared Owl in flight.
There Really Are Some Short-eared Owls Out There!
I was delighted almost to the point of giddiness to see this many Short-eared Owls concentrated in a small area.

Male Short-eared Owl – A Creature Of Habit
This male Short-eared Owl was as set in his ways as I am and that’s saying something.
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey (and the perception of baiting)
A Few Seconds, A Light Change – What A Difference!
Changes in light in a very short time can have a dramatic effect on our images. The phenomenon tends to be well understood by landscape photographers but it can have a similar impact in wildlife photography.
Short-eared Owl In Flight (with prey in silhouette)
Photographing Short-eared Owls in flight with naturally obtained (not baited) prey in a wild setting is near the pinnacle of my bird photography aspirations. Thankfully I’ve had that opportunity several times and I’ll be forever grateful.
Short-eared Owl In Flight Against A Darker Background
On my Montana trips Short-eared Owls are always one of my primary target species but sadly I seldom see them in recent years. This bird was one of two owls I found in almost five days of searching at the end of last month.
Short-eared Owl Pushing Off With His Talon-tips
On our Montana trips I’m always looking for Short-eared Owls but sadly, unlike just a few years ago when they were relatively abundant, they’re virtually nonexistent in the Centennial Valley these days. I’m pretty much convinced their absence is largely due to all the cattle (mostly yearlings who are the juvenile delinquents of the bovine world and they really tore up the place) that were allowed to graze Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge a couple of years ago.
Short-eared Owl With Prey
Short-eared Owl With Huge Vole (or is it something else?)
Most adult voles I see are about the same size but occasionally I notice one that appears to have been on an extended steroid regimen. Perhaps they’re not voles at all…?
Short-eared Owl Flight Sequence In Habitat
Short-eared Owls are a favorite subject of mine and I particularly enjoy flight sequences that highlight habitat.
Short-eared Owl Carrying A Vole In Its Beak (for a change)
I have many images of Short-eared Owls carrying prey in their talons in flight but very few where they’re carrying the prey in their beak. This is one of them.
