Short-eared Owl


This was a totally accidental shot, taken yesterday, with my old Canon SX60, which I hadn't used for ages. When I took the first few shots, I could tell something was happening inside my camera, rather like a camera set on burst (which I never use). However, this was different and when I reviwed the photos, I discovered that I must have caught the dial somehow and it was on a different setting. The result was a set of six completely different images, every one now deleted except for this one. The original was much paler.
Yesterday, 14 February, I was so lucky. Friend, Pam, phoned to see if I'd like to go with her for a quick drive east of the city. I hadn't been expecting to get out for a few days, as I had a cortisone injection in my left hip the previous day and one is supposed to rest for a few days. Another 10 days and I get a shot in the other hip. I wasn't going to drive anywhere, but being driven and no walking sounded just too nice to turn down. We also both knew that snow was in the forecast for the next two or three days.
We were very lucky with an owl sighting and this one flew to a fairly close fence post - and just stayed there. Looked like a bit of its most recent snack of Meadow Vole was still on the tip of its beak.
The temperature was a few degrees "less cold" than the previous 12 or so days. However, it was still SOOOO cold, so photos were taken with gloved hands. Two weeks of deep freeze has not been enjoyable, to say the least. This morning, 15 February, it is "only" -20C (windchill -25C) and snow fell overnight.
Many thanks, Pam, for the invite and this absolute treat! So much appreciated.
