N.V.M. Where did you see the Long-Eared Owl? Everyone is able to find the Owl at Boundary Bay but I never end up seeing it. Several people informed me that its usually sitting in the bushes around the ditch but I can't seem to find the Owl.

The answer is on my photo forums.(under Animals/Birds)

Btw, check out the other Long Ear Owl thread, great hints there!

Just past the entrance to the golf course, there is an entrance on the right (as you're heading south) into a farmer's field. I saw it around there. It was just hanging around - didn't give a shit that there were 20 people surrounding it clicking away. :)

it was a 5dmk3

yep. getting close to a 1DX though.

Jason, that looks like a Peregrine Falcon. i've come to know the Harriers quite well. and i'm looking and thinking, Harriers don't have "pants".

here, i too caught a fight over a rodent on saturday, albeit not a very great capture, but you can clearly see the Harrier's markings, especially through the tail.

and yes, the owl gave it up too.

Yea thats definitely a Falcon. Awesome photos though Senna!
What's the deal with the Short-Eared Owls giving up their catch? As soon as the Owl finds a meal the Harriers come out of no where and swoop right in waiting for the Owl to drop its prey.

does anyone know what type of bird this is?

^^^ Juvenile Bald Eagle.

Whoops, I meant to write Falcon. Fuck me.....but I've never seen a Peregrine punk another bird before!
