short-eared owl

One more time I could go to Americana, SP (Brazil), to try seeing the short-eared owl. And once again, it was there. There are a couple, and two young owls leaving in an area.

Since september, 2011, the short-eared owl can be found in the region.

Loving the perch and you got a great bird here. The talons being exposed are nice on the simple monotone background

Nice owl image with a good, weathered post. Vertical comp works well here. Sharon

nice pose, and nice view of the feet, Jefferson. I like how one "short ear" is up. I like the comp too.

Sweet detail, nice pose with eye contact, and a simple but effective perch.
Nice!

Sweet shot of the Owl, Jefferson. If this were mine, I think I'd straighten the post and add a bit of canvas on the left, but that's just my taste.
