OWL & PREY by Sandy Stewart
A Barred Owl perches in a large Maple Tree to consume its prey. This Owl has been hanging around in one of my friend’s yards and was first noticed hanging off of one of her bird aviaries. The owl appears smaller than other Barred Owls I have seen and it is my thought that this one is likely a fledgling from this year. Once a fledgling grows in its adult plumage you can’t tell the difference between them and an adult. Barred owls are often out at night, dawn or dusk, but can be seen during the day. When hunting, they usually perch in a tree and watch and listen for prey. Once they spot the prey, they swoop down and grab it with their talons. Their toes are special, as two face forward and two go back. This helps the Barred Owl get a good grip on its prey. If they prefer, they can turn a back toe forward. This likely helps them while perched on a tree. Barred owls (like all owls) are carnivores (meat-eaters). They hunt squirrels, mice, rats, foxes, rabbits, bats, small birds, other owls, snakes, lizards, fish, fiddler crabs, and bugs. Since they eat the whole animal (except for the wings of birds), they swallow a lot of fur and bones they can’t digest. Owls will regurgitate (re-gir-ji-tate) or vomit pellets of fur and bones. If you find a pile of little furry balls under a tree, you have found an owl’s perch tree or eating spot. If you pick the pellet apart, you can see the tiny bones and fur of the animals it has eaten. Barred owls tend to perch on trees which have small branches and moss to hide and camouflage them. In flight they flap their wings rather than soaring like a vulture. This is because they have special soft feathers. Soft feathers are quiet, which helps the owl to sneak up on their prey animals. Soft feathers are not very good at catching the wind, so they have to work hard to fly. The owl is a good hunter, but he can’t rest and soar. “PHOTO INFORMATION” Photo taken on Nov 1/09 at 1:42 pm in the Duncan area ( South east Vancouver Island) B.C., Canada. / Taken in raw, adobe RGB and aperture priority. / Camera; Canon 40D / Lens; Canon EF-100-400 f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM lens. / Tripod; Manfrotto and joystick head. / Taken at 1/100’sec, f/5.6, 400mm, man col bal 6100 kelvin, iso 800. / Histogram adjustment and sharpening using layers.

Great Blue Heron by Adrian Geronimo
just as i get to the beach to take photos, i come across this huge, blue heron. just standing there. he didn’t seem bothered by me taking his picture. infact, he didn’t even care. / as soon as i got up, and wrapped up my camera, he left. it was my first time seeing a bird like that. lucky enough i was taking photos. seeing him fly reminded me of dinosaurs. i would of followed him if not for the stupid rocks around the beach (it was low tide when i saw it). would you believe i took this with a 55mm focal length with a 2.5 second exposure ? you better :) Note: This was displayed at a gallery showing at Exposure Gallery’s ‘Salon Show’ exhibit last june 19th, 2009. Taken at False Creek, Vancouver BC. Canada

"Asio Flammeus" by Martin Smart
2nd Place in the Owls in Autumn Challenge in the Only Owls Group Featured in “Canadiana” November 2009* 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

A Proud Mother by David Friederich
Featured in Dimensions, Nirvana, Canadiana, Eagles Only, and 300+ Go Long. In this fourth shot of my bald eagles’ nest series, the mother bald eagle has just joined her two young at the end of the day. The whole family sleeps together in two large coniferous trees. In the two weeks I have been shooting and observing at the nest, “dad” always arrives last at the end of the day. Soon the young fledged eagles will be on their own, completely abandoned by their parents. In this shot, she is certainly giving me the eye, as she hides herself within the protective bows of fir tree next to the nesting tree. Captured on the Fraser River in Delta, British Columbia, using a Nikon D300 and Nikkor f4 600 mm lens, on a Gitzo tripod, ISO 640, -0.33 EV, f4, 1/100s.

We Are So Tiny by Jann Ashworth
As I was watching these canoeists,I was thinking..they’re floating on one of the world’s most beautiful lakes, fed by glaciers high in the Rocky Mountains.Behind them march thousands upon tens of thousands of trees, climbing up the slopes of towering peaks which once were the bed of a shallow sea, and were thrust upward with power we can’t begin to imagine, to form peaks thousands of feet above the level of the present oceans. And this is hundreds of miles from the closest ocean. And above it all,the ever-changing sky,now blue and serene, but in another moment, dark and storm-tossed. I felt how tiny we all are compared to what surrounds us every day. It is so seldom we stop to think how much we have to be thankful for and appreciate the beauty that we have been given. / Taken at Lake Maligne, Jasper National Park, Alberta,Canada. / Sept. 4, 2009. / Sony DSCF828 camera.

An Evening in June by George Cousins
An evening of boating among the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada, often has the added benefit of quite wonderful skyscapes. Especially in May and June, we get these cloud formations that have a wide variety of shades and colours. At times it looks like a downpour is imminent,but it seldom is at that time of year. This view was taken a few miles off Sidney, a town on the Saanich Peninsula just north of the city of Victoria. The large hump at the right is Salt Spring , the largest of the southern group of islands. BTW, it might appear that this is an HDR image; it isn’t, I prefer not to use it. / Taken June 17, 2009 / Fuji S100FS camera.

The Board Walk by Peter Lessey

Located behind the Jack Darling Park in the south western area of Mississauga, Ontario., Canada. / While out walking with my best friend and greatest fan Jacqueline. / We stoped for a while to enjoy the scene and for me to take few photographs. / I like the way this scene look and felt when I pictured it framed and hung on a wall in my home….if it doesn’t sell out first….lol / The board walks are suspend over most of the marsh lands area. I was told that it was done this way to protect the plants and to increase the view. ======================================= Taken with: Kodak C653 (Pocket Digital Cam.) / Tripod mounted. / Single shot HDR treated / Noise reduction & processing done with: Corel paint Shop Pro X2.
