I’ve posted a few shots of short-eared owls in the past, but always in flight. I liked the looks of this guy perched, as you get to see that nice feather vest he’s wearing. This was in Boundary Bay, just south of Vancouver. A great place for snowy owls, short-eared owls, northern harrier hawks and bald eagles. All four species show up in prolific numbers during the winter months. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1250, f/5 at 1/1000th of a second.
