Wolfe Island Kingston – It was a good winter for this species on the island. Earlier in the year I had many but while there were only 4-5 remaining on this day, I was very pleased with the result. The nice thing about shorties is that they usually become active before dark, in this case 2 hours ahead, so getting acceptable photos in available light is possible.

Amherst Island - I switched from shooting Short-eared Owls to this fox for a short time. While focusing on the fox, an owl swept low overhead, showing its displeasure with this competitor for the abundant meadow voles.

Amherst Island - There have been a few birds recently but we had 11 today. That's a high number for this species. The owl is looking directly at me, responding to the camera shutter firing.
