This year there has been decent numbers of Snowy Owls kicking around. On occasion your able to see 2-3 while parked along the roadway.
Not all have been approachable and it’s always a challenge on just how to approach them…what works for one my not work for another.
Often they are off and flying before your able to get into range and I refer to these as “Birders Delights”
I do have my thoughts on possible reason for these “Spooky Owls”
Not knowing what to expect or how the day would turn out on my first opportunity for Burrowing Owls last August.
Only knowing that these owls are very small and brown in color…to arrive at a cow pasture covered in dry grass seemed like mission impossible.
After a long period of time the first owl was spotted and then I had some idea what to look for. It was the big yellow eyes that gave them away as the rest of the body blended well into the dry grass in the pasture.
Even the birds do it.
Dance like no one is watching…other than the guy in a truck with a camera.
