Close watch
Snowy Owl and pellet
Baby Barn Owl
Getting ready to dive
High on the hill
Two of a kind
On a fence post, but no Vole
Northern Pygmy-owl with snack
Coughing up a pellet
On a cold and windy day
A good stretch of the legs and wing
Distant, but much appreciated
Northern Pygmy-owl from January
Tiny predator with prey
Sitting so pretty
Making sure we go the right way
Just a different perch
Way, way up
It's mine!
Irresistibly cute
Like finding a needle in a haystack
Touched by the sun
Yesterday's well-earned treat
A surprise to all
Hiding in a cavity
Snowy Owl with mountain bokeh
Transformation of a preening owl
Almost impossible to find
A different pose
Tiny, bright-eyed Northern Pygmy-owl
Northern Pygmy-owl
Looks a long way down from up here

A different Great Horned Owl
A backwards glance
Popcan-sized cutie
Safe with Mom

Dad on guard duty
Eyes like Licorice Allsorts

The sacrifice made by Meadow Voles
"The Northern Pygmy-Owl may be tiny, but it’s a ferocious hunter with a taste for songbirds. These owls are mostly dark brown and white, with long tails, smoothly rounded heads, and piercing yellow eyes. They hunt during the day by sitting quietly and surprising their prey. As a defensive measure, songbirds often gather to mob sitting owls until they fly away. Mobbing songbirds can help you find these unobtrusive owls, as can listening for their call, a high-pitched series of toots." From AllAboutBirds.

These owls also have a taste for Meadow Voles and during the past few weeks, photographers have seen this bird catch numerous Voles, including this unlucky little one, seen on 23 February 2015. This particular day was very quiet while I was there, with not much owl activity at all. We just lucked out when it caught this Meadow Vole.
