Long-eared Owl_8507418
This young Long-eared Owl couldn't have picked a better spot to pose for my camera. I hope that I didn't disturb him too much.
There is a disturbing trend that I have noticed in the last couple of years. The number of people photographing Owls (and other wildlife) has risen exponentially. Maybe Covid has prompted more and more people to enjoy nature as a safe outlet. I am seeing large numbers of photographers surrounding Owls with large cameras, lenses and tripods. They stay for hours and talk loudly, stressing the poor Owls unnecessarily.
Please everyone, take your photos quietly and then leave the area. They are beautiful creatures and deserve our respect and protection.
