Short-eared Owl
Hoar frost tree and vanishing fields
Disappearing into nothingness
When the world turns white
Prairie life in winter
A white world
Before winter arrived
You never know where you'll see a Snowy Owl
Two male Snowy Owls in the same field
King of silos
Under a Chinook arch
A sunrise sky that lasted till sunset
New "barn", Granary Road
Old house next to metal silo
Rural decay
Stubble pattern
Lying on a bed of hoarfrost
Meadow Vole for a tasty snack
One of my favourite barns
Lapland Longspur? No, a female Red-winged Blackbi…
A little eye-catcher
An old barn in winter
Old barn in winter
Clouds, reflected
Soothing simplicity
Rolling hills and distant peaks
A sky filled with clouds
The Famous Five from a distance
Fancy silo with stairs
When the clouds roll in
White beauty
The only one
A frosty prairie view
Fields of golden stubble
Layers and stripes
Here comes the rain
Five Swans a-swimming
The olden days
Springtime on the prairie
Trumpeter Swans
The day before Christmas
Follow the lines
Sunrise over the mountains
Sunrise pink
Zoomed to the max
Gray Partridge
Some white patches have eyes : )
An early Christmas present, 2013
Gray Partridge
Old prairie homestead
The beauty of golden stubble
Old and new on the prairies
A beautiful setting
Wide open spaces that go on forever
Stripes of colour
Fun in the sun
Christmas Eve day on the prairies
Light through the storm clouds
The row of five
Swans galore
Three in a row

Short-eared Owl / Asio flammeus
On 14 February, I was so lucky. Friend, Pam H, 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. Looks 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 H, for the invite and this absolute treat! So much appreciated.
