Short-eared owls are fun to watch hunt. They fly close to the ground before making a quick dive at their prey. This guy was scanning the marshland along Boundary Bay in Western Canada for any tasty rodents. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1250, f/5 at 1/1000th of a second

great pic of the bird in flight.
gorgeous shot!
I love the owls.
Makes you glad you’re not a tasty rodent. I think I once had a pickup truck with this same attitude. Great.
