Lol, this is certainly a different perch from the more usual power pole! Not sure if it's better, or not, but it definitely makes a change : ) Had a great day yesterday with friends Cathy and Terry, driving the backroads SE of the city, hoping to see an owl or two. My title for this photo came from Terry's description of the day we had - it started off with a Long-eared Owl and ended with a Short-eared Owl! In total, we saw 5 Snowy Owls including this handsome male, 4 Great Horned Owls, 1 Long-eared Owl and 1 Short-eared Owl. Plus a few other species, including a Northern Shrike, many Grey Partridges (all of which flew before we could take photos, other than a couple of very distant ones), Horned Larks, Ravens/Crows, owls in barn windows, a beautiful Gyrfalcon and a colourful sunrise. Not a bad day, I think you'll agree : ) The only thing we didn't see, except briefly, was the sun, so we had low light all day, unfortunately! It was so unbearably cold all day, windchill temperature was -30C. A few seconds out of the car and fingers were so painful. despite wearing gloves. Difficult to hold the camera steady when one is shivering, ha.
