Short-eared owl, Samish Island, Washington (© Bryan Matthew)
comments,
- If owls were into social media...""This one would have no shortage of profile pics
- This majestic bird is found on every continent but Australia and Antarctica.""This particular specimen hunts on a Pacific Northwest island
- Nature is a cruel mistress. The preferred prey for these predators...""Is a fuzzy ball of cute
- To hunt in open fields, this bird has developed the ability to fly slowly and low to the ground.""It\s like watching a stunt pilot in action
