Snowy Owl “rest station”
This beautiful bird had a long flight and found this stump and didn’t want to move, to the delight of several photographers who walked right up to her and took a photo or two or three or…. well you get the idea. The ditch under the stump had an abundance of mole tunnels making for good snacks for this migrating owl, how long it will stay to rest remains a mystery, some move on and others seem happy to...
Snowy Owl
This bird seems to be contemplating … how many mice are enough or I wonder if I should have my own Facebook following? This is likely the most photographed of the...
Golden Eagle
I have heard for some time that this fellow had taken up residence in the Beaver Valley, this is the first time I have managed to get a photo of it, and I only saw it because a bald Eagle was perched near it. By the time I pulled the car over and organized my camera, the Bald flew away leaving this fellow exposed and lucky me I got a “proof that I saw it”...
Snowy Owl “big wind”
It was a gusty day in the snowy fields… time to get out of the blowing snow and into something an owl can get a hold...
Snowy Owl Hunting
This Snowy Owl is checking out a dead mouse that my cat killed, then the feed truck drove over in my barn yard. Just look at the way it’s looking a the dead mouse, couldn’t fool this bird. They were right, she/he didn’t fall for it. Up until now all the birds I have photographed are after rodents that populate the country side. I do have a photo of a bird coming in for a mouse that was set out as owl food from a few days ago, I happened by a fellow who carefully feeds the birds not unlike having a bird feeder in your yard. It doesn’t do the owls any harm and likely helps them survive the winter. Owls eat colonies of rodents, when there aren’t any left, they move on … feeding owls is like providing a colony of mice, when they are gone, the owls will move on no worse for wear and in better condition. I however feel kinda bad for the mice and personally I can’t bring myself to do it. Note: because I am so independently minded, I don’t believe everything I hear … so I have put a lot of time and research into the feeding of owls, and I am satisfied after watching the practice for four years that no owls have been harmed, and I believe many owls have benefited from being fed. the dead mouse in the snow bank below...
