Yesterday, while I was searching my photo organizer for a different photo of a different species, I mistakenly typed in the wrong image file number which brought up one of the photos I’d taken last summer of a recently fledged Short-eared Owl. Back then I’d posted a single photo of ‘him’ in the sagebrush he was perched in but my typing error reminded me that I had other shots of him, in different poses, that were also interesting.<\/p>\n

These are two of them.<\/p>\n

He was really buried in the sagebrush so the setting was cluttered and he was in shade but after maneuvering my pickup into position I had a pretty good look at him. He showed no fear or even nervousness, only curiosity. He was at least as interested in me as I was in him.<\/span><\/p>\n

I got many photos of him parallaxing<\/a><\/span><\/span> me and my pickup. In my book there aren’t many things more endearing than a baby or fledgling owl performing motion parallax.<\/p>\n

Soon after these photos were taken I left the area while he was still in the sagebrush. When I returned 90 minutes later he was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n
