A short eared owl glides by.
My time for flickr has been limited lately. There are many reasons and they are all good. I am spending time at the gym fixing up my injured leg. I feel great and feel stronger than before the injury. I have been out cross country skiing. I have also been spending quality time with different family members. The result is less time for flickr.

We saw quite a few Short-eared Owls during our two visits to Benton Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Montana. This one posed obligingly on a fence post for me.
Beautiful wild Barred Owl taken in a local park in Calgary, Alberta. This was an incredibly calm owl.
This one's for you C&T!

Blacktoft Sands RSPB, Goole
For some reason Barn Owls have unwittingly become my flavour of the month this February. I've seen them in seven different locations around the UK and got decent photos from three of them. This one was taken today at Blacktoft Sands RSPB near Goole. I actually went for Marsh Harriers, but this delightful female Barn Owl provided me with my best shots when it hunted right in front of Singleton hide this afternoon.

The beautiful owl has been in a local park in Calgary, Alberta for several weeks and has become quite a celebrity (when he chooses to be visible)! I got some great views and have many shots to go through. I like the soft light and pose in this photo.
Thank you. Your visit and comments are very much appreciated.
The Barred Owl’s hooting call, “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?” is a classic sound of old forests and treed swamps. But this attractive owl, with soulful brown eyes and brown-and-white-striped plumage, can also pass completely unnoticed as it flies noiselessly through the dense canopy or snoozes on a tree limb. Originally a bird of the east, during the twentieth century it spread through the Pacific Northwest and southward into California.

I thought i would keep an eye on this beauty, and he seems very settled. Nice to see him in the sunshine.
My previous photo of him last week was used by the BBC for their photo of the day!!

Eastern Screech Owl
The Eastern Screech Owl or Eastern screech-owl (Megascops asio) is a small owl that is relatively common in Eastern North America, from Mexico to Canada. This species is native to most wooded environments of its distribution and, more so than any other owl in its range, has adapted well to manmade development, although it frequently avoids detection due to its strictly nocturnal habits.

And now for something different, something I don't do that often but on occasions like to have a go at and that is taking wild life. Taken while on a few days holiday in the Lake District, this Barn Owl (Tyto Alba) is the most common type or widely seen, I'm no expert but that is what it says on Wikipedia.
This was taken with my Sony 70-400, I'm so used to taking landscape shots and forgot to alter a couple of settings, and only realised after the owl had flew off, especially as the light was pretty low that afternoon and wondering why I was not getting enough speed to get as sharp an image as possible.
Any comments , favs are most welcome...
