Long-eared Owl 5


I always say that 13 is my lucky number and today is Friday 13th! Earlier this evening, I decided I would go to a regular place and see if I could see a familiar pair of Great Horned Owls. I wanted some new owl photos to post here! Instead, I decided I would stop off somewhere else en route to take a few pictures of a beautiful sky. Thought I'd do a short walk while I was there and when I heard rather a lot of noisy Chickadees coming from one particular bush, I stopped to have a look. I found myself staring into the eyes of this rare, wonderful little owl!! Photo 1 was what it looked like when I first saw it. Photos 2 and 3 were taken after it had flown a couple of feet to a different branch in the same bush. Photos 4 and 5 were taken when I accidentally snapped a dead branch that was lying on the ground and the owl flew a few bushes away, where it was immediately surrounded by Magpies that harassed it. This is the first time I have ever seen a Long-eared Owl and I am SO excited, I'm never going to sleep tonight! They are rare to uncommon here! I must admit that I wasn't even sure what kind of owl it was until I got home and checked.
