Short-eared Owl

[Jim Crosswell]

I took this image in January close to home. I was handholding the camera while sitting in the car. It is a fair crop. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Jim, you've cropped this well well. right balance of subject and room around. you got it at an excellent angle. Well done.

Nice one, Jim. Great that you got both eyes, and I like the comp and flight angle. I've totally struck out on SEO's this year, so I'm green with envy.
