Short-eared Owls
« on: January 16, 2016, 09:34:39 AM »
Shot some owls on Eide road with my buddy Jon the other day.  For you gearheads, I used a 7D2 and 600L II handheld.

They're awesome, Shawn!
I especially like #s 4, 5, and 6.  But of course they are all excellent.

Wish I had something to shoot around here in the winter time.

Awesome pics.  I always enjoy watching the family groups hunting cooperatively in late summer, and once was fortunate enough to watch a flock of 25 diurnal hunting during fall migration. 
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
