Here are a few from last year’s archives.
Camera settings: f/5.6, 1/200 sec., ISO-4000, 1120 mm focal length equivalent.
First up is the Great Grey Owl that Miguel, Dave and I found on our trip to northern Minnesota in late December, 2019.
Camera settings: f/10, 1/640 sec., ISO-320, 1600 mm focal length equivalent.
Next is the Northern Hawk Owl photographed on the same trip. We really enjoyed watching these guys as they hunted in broad daylight from their high perches. You never knew when they would take off in a powered flight after a prey.
Camera settings: f/5.6, 1/250 sec., ISO-640, 1120 mm focal length equivalent.
Last of all is this gorgeous red-phase Eastern Screech Owl. Whether it is the same owl, or multiple birds using the same hole in this tree, this species has been observed using this cavity for at least the past three winter seasons at the Visitor’s Center in Grafton, IL.
