We made a few trips to see these beautiful owls and got my best pics in subdued light, like this, at a time when there were not many other photogs around, so we had some intimate moments with this Shorty, and the incredible eye lock images. Short-eared Owls are one of the most daylight-active owls, especially around dawn and dusk—which is why Skagit evenings can feel like a wildlife show. They hunt low over open country, and the images are unforgettable.
