Short-eared owls are widespread across grasslands in North America, Europe, North Africa and Northern Asia. In South America and Southern Asia some subspecies can be found too in various countries. Mostly active at dusk and dawn they hunt inflight with rapid dive maneouvers for voles and mice. During the winter months they tend to gather in larger numbers where food is abundant. This shot i took during a visit to the Pacific Northwest coastline during November. For more pictures of owls click here.
