Quartering over a Somerset meadow.

Leineschloss Hannover

 

"Construction of the original Leine Palace began in 1637. From 1714, King George I had its interior reconstructed, with magnificent decorations. After a fire, the north-west wing had to be rebuilt. Further constructional changes were made by Georg Laves between 1815 and 1835. Among other details, he added the classicistic portico, resembling the example at Carlton House palace in London. Today, the Leineschloss houses the Landtag – the state parliament of Lower Saxony."

A Short-eared Owl cruising into 2026! Photo taken on December 31, 2025, at Shillapoo Lake, Vancouver, Washington.

Short eared owl flying back and forth above marsh suddenly dives down to catch a vole.

 

These highly maneuverable raptors make frequent hard turns while scanning for prey. This is a relatively easy adjustment, but you can see how the right wing and tail are tilted together to catch the wind and push it to the left.

Short Eared Owls are often found in groups. Some took off the moment they noticed me but this one kept a watchful eye.

I was very fortunate to see this owl hunt, capture, and mantle his prey!

This open-country hunter is one of the world's most widely distributed owls, and among the most frequently seen in daylight. Don't look too eagerly for the ear tufts, which are so short they're often invisible. More conspicuous features are its black-rimmed yellow eyes staring out from a pale facial disk. These birds course silently over grasslands on broad, rounded wings, especially at dawn and dusk. They use acute hearing to hunt small mammals and birds.

Will really miss these birds when they are gone

Perched beautifully on a beautiful perch just after sunrise.

Its long bill is short only in comparison with the very similar Long-billed Dowitcher. This one looks like a non-breeding adult.

 

Taken near Fort Myers, Florida.

 

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
