A War Of Wills With A Short-eared Owl And I Won
I have a stubborn streak that occasionally gets me into trouble but every once in a while it pays off.

Short-eared Owl Siblings Parallaxing (and an update on the owl hung up on barbed wire)
Normally it’s my practice to avoid posting the same species two days in a row. But in celebration of the (unexpected) good news about the juvenile Short-eared Owl we rescued from barbed wire two days ago I decided to make an exception.

Another Nasty Encounter Between An Owl And A Barbed Wire Fence
Many readers will remember the Barn Owl I had to cut out of barbed wire last summer in Montana. At the time I only had a small, cheap and dull pair of wire cutters with me and the effort required to cut the thick double-stranded wire strained tendons in my arm that took several weeks to heal. So I invested in two new heavy-duty pairs of wire cutters to carry in my pickup in case I ever came across a similar situation again. It’s a darn good thing I did.

Fledgling Short-eared Owl
I’ve never had such a good look at a fledgling Short-eared Owl as I did yesterday morning. At this stage they look quite different from the adults.
Short-eared Owl Throwing Up A Pellet
Yesterday morning in northern Utah this Short-eared Owl had a surprise waiting for me and it came at an unexpected moment.
Short-eared Owl On An Old Wooden Fence Post
A Close-up Look At The Endearing Face Of A Wild Short-eared Owl
Being this close to a wild owl inspired in me a feeling of deep and solemn respect.

The intensity of the focus of Short-eared Owls on prey seems to be amplified by their large, brightly colored eyes.
