p.1 #1 · Long-eared Owls on a snowy day - multiple images
I have rarely seen these owls on the wing during daylight hours, they are nocturnal hunters and usually spend the day buried deep in the evergreens resting for the evening hunt. This particular owl really surprised me, he was out in the open during mid morning actively hunting. He made a number of dives into the snow but was unsuccessful.

Eric, Louie, Chris and Paul, thank you very much for your feedback, it's much appreciated.
Tony thank you as well and all I can say is I'm jealous of your balmy weather, it will be -30 Celsius here with the windchill, not looking forward to that at all, coldest weather in the past eight years.
