Here is another Short-Eared Owl from a few weeks ago in Livingston County, NY. As photographers we try to capture images of birds showing behavior or “gestures”. In this one the owl seems to be asking us a question – like “is this a good pose?”. Shot with R5 & 100-500 @ 500 using car as a blind from about 60 feet away.

Remember, a little mild insanity keeps us healthy

You really did have a great opportunity there, Ed. The tilted head makes this really cool.
