We waited till days end…there are 43 short eared owls in this frame.
Amherst Island, Canada
43?! I’m over here hoping to see one
And I even upscaled it 3x for you guys! 😆
I debated whether to post this or not because it reminded me of what windshields used to look like before we killed off all the insects, but I figured most of us aren’t used to seeing this many raptors in a single shot. I think it’s still cool even if I’ve got to use some imagination to fill the gaps.
I definitely wondered if there was a hidden owl close up before reading the description. It’s cool to see so many at once
I had hoped that at least one or 2 would become distinguishable, but not enough details in the source image shared. We’ve got no shortage of Shorty pics here though. I have been very fascinated by them this year and have been careful not to overload you guys with too many of them. I’ll sometimes come across pics with 2, maybe 3 of them together, but I’ve never seen anything near this scale. It must have been amazing to be there as they all showed up, and I’m sure there were some good ariel battles if any of them found anything tasty.
