Perfectly still. The reflection on this Green Heron was just too good to pass up. 💚

Counting down the days until winter just to see “Winky” again. Long eared Owls are absolute masters of camouflage, often perching so close to the tree trunk and staying so still that they look just like a branch, but Winky always knew how to strike a pose. 🦉

Barely 7 inches (17cm) tall and weighing less than a single apple, it’s wild how much presence this little Northern Saw-whet owlet has.

Hard to believe, but these guys are among the smallest owls in North America, hardly bigger than an American robin, and weighing less than a deck of cards (under 3–4 oz/85-110gr). Seeing one peeking out from its cavity is easily worth the hours of quiet waiting.

A winter day up north… Freezing temperature, lying flat on the full of snowy ground, handheld at 500mm with a 1/100s shutter speed. On paper, it sounds like a great way to have a blurry mess and frostbite. It sounds almost impossible, yet here’s the shot. 🦉 ❄️

Snowy Owl, aka Hedwig.

1/20th of a second at 500mm. On paper, this photo should be completely ruined by motion blur. In reality, the forest stood completely still for just long enough.

Sharp eyes, low light, and a whole lot of steady breathing.

Four of a kind 🦉

These four Northern Saw whet Owl fledglings (Aegolius acadicus) stayed perfectly perched together while exploring the branch. Recognizable by their deep cinnamon buffy underparts and distinctive white ‘V’ between the eyes, juvenile saw whets hold this plumage for only a few brief weeks before molting into adult patterns!
