Another shot from Feb. of last year... evening shot...the usual time when these creatures comes out. You can get shots of Short-eared Owls during the day also, but early mornings and late afternoons almost evening are more productive.

1D4, EF300mm f/2.8L USM NON-IS
1/1600, ISO-800, f/2.8 handheld.

Please click on the image for uncompressed view, thank you.

The field were I used to take pictures of these owls has been destroyed ....all vegetation stripped down and canals created for salmon.
Bummer, it was really nice place. People from all over were flying here to see over 2 dozens of owls flying around.
There are some other fields around here and I got some shots, but nothing even close what I had last season.

I really like the dark tones of this image Ludo as it make the eye stand out, the SEO is such a wonderful owl to photograph and you have captured this flight shot perfectly.
