Northern Saw-whet Owl by Todd Weeks
The Northern Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus) is a regular visitor to our area in the winter months. Cute as a button, this bird of prey is also an accomplished hunter, feeding on small rodents. It is hard to judge its size by the photo, but these birds are about the size of a pop can. How deliciously deceiving. ;^) Imaged near Amherst, Ontario. © Todd Weeks

Great Gray Hunter by Todd Weeks
This icon of the North is a Great Gray Owl (Strix nebulosa). They are the largest of all the owls found in Canada and survive on a diet of voles, lemmings, and other small rodents. Their hearing is exceptional and, like all other owls, have feathers that are designed for silent flight. Offset ears assist in triangulating the location of their prey and razor-sharp talons ensure they never escape their grasp. Evolved into a single-purpose killing machine, they rival tigers and sharks in their place at the top of the food chain. Captured hunting near Dunrobin, Ontario. © Todd Weeks

Elf Owl by tonybat
Elf Owls are the smallest species of owls in North America, if not the world. They stand a mere 5 3/4 inches high. They range from the Big Bend in TX, to SW NM, thru the southern portion of AZ. We are fortunate to have a breeding pair return to our property each March, nest and fledge young each July. This bird and its mate are two of the most photographed Elf Owls in SE AZ over the past 6 years, as many birders and photographers make a point of booking time at our B&B during the owl’s presence. www.battistebedabdbirds.com

Elf Owl with prey by tonybat
This Elf Owl has captured a centipede, almost as long as itself. He is preparing this feast as an offering to his mate to feed to their young in the nest. Elf Owls are primarily insectivores, although they are known to take small reptiles also. Photo taken at our B&B this spring/early summer.

"Asio Flammeus" by Martin Smart
Best viewed large Asio Flammeus is the Latin name for a Short-eared Owl, a species of typical owl. The owls that belong to the genus “Asio” are known as eared owls as they have tufts of feathers that resemble mammals ears. The “ear” tufts may not always be visible but the Short-eared owl will display them when in a defensive pose. The word flammeus is Latin for “flaming, or the color of fire”. Short-eared Owls are found in open country, marshlands and grasslands and this little beauty was photographed on the Nanaimo River Estuary, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. Canon 20D / 1/800sec f8 ISO 200 / 500mm lens + 1.4x converter

Owls Cabochon Tray Wire Wrap Pendant by Val Zdero
couldn’t help myself – had this idea last night about incorporating my little cabochon art trays into the wire wrapped pendants so here it is – I have wrapped the wire around the cabochon and then added cream melon glass beads, jasper beads and Swaroski crystals – together with lots of aluminium wire wrapped patterns – hope you like it – I think an owl enthusiast would not be able to resist this one :)

Give A Hoot by Terry Hinkle
I live about 20-30 minutes west of downtown St. Louis in a very old community with century old homes and giant trees. Even though it is a very populated area, we often see fox, deer, hawks, coyotes and owls. Very early around 4:00 AM we can hear the owls calling to one another. In the Spring and Fall when we have our windows open, we are many mornings woken from sleep by an owl that likes to sit on top of our house. This is a 7×5 inch rough marker, pencil and chalk pastel on 60 lb. illustration paper. I tried to keep it loose.
About This Group

There will be two features

Please be sensitive towards the welfare of the wildlife and surroundings when you are shooting wildlife.
