p.1 #1 · Short-eared Owls on Leque Island


We had another great day of weather in the Pacific North Wet. I went back to Leque Island, focusing on short-eared owls this time. I came away with the following images:

Nice! I hope to get some shorties one of these days myself. Any tips for how to find/shoot them?

Tim, thanks! As for how to find them, tap into your local birding communities. You may have local Audubon branches that have information on where to find different birds. I subscribe to a birding e-mail list out of the University of Washington that gives information on recent sightings. In Washington state, there is a great book - "The Birder's Guide to Washington" - that lists a huge number of state wide locations and what species can typically be found each season. One last thing - patience, and sometime luck, help. Good luck!

Beautiful set! Shorties aren't very common here in New England, I'm dying to see one. I joke with my buddy in utah that I'd trade ten snowy owls for one shorty
