In a confluence of coincidence and opportunity, I was contacted by one of our former birding course members this past week with a report of a Long-eared Owl that has stopped by for the day. I suspected that I’d not get another chance like this for a while, so I ran home, grabbed my camera, and spent about an hour shooting the bird through their picture window, and through a side window. The next day it had moved on, likely only having stopped for a day of rest on its northern migration. Enjoy!
Long-eared Owl
I thought I heard something…
Oh. Hi.
Catching some rays
I think he’s getting a bit annoyed by all the attention…
Ok, that’s enough, now let me get back to sleep…
I wish those dogs would keep their yapping down!
I saw one of these this morning in my blue spruce in Haysboro. The magpies and crows really ganged up on this guy!
Great sighting! A few are always around here, but they are very secretive so hard to find.
