Summary
[edit]DescriptionFlickr - Rainbirder - Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus) (2).jpg |
These owls appear to be quite big birds but in reality they are heavily feathered lightweights with long broad wings which give them a massive wing-area to body- weight ratio. As a result their flight is very buoyant and the birds seem to bounce upwards with every flap of the wing! Short-eared Owls are "designed" to fly slowly and very quietly allowing them to quarter the ground searching for small mammals which they detect both by sight and sound. This image was taken in the hills above Glen Devon, Breadalbane, Scotland in the warm sidelight of a setting sun. |
