Cool Two Owls close together. Was the Short Eared Owl mobbing the Snowy Owl?

Dominic, no the Snowy doesn't give up his place, although the Short-ear looks threatening, it doesn't make contact with the Snowy.

Wolfgang, unfortunately this is the only good image I got of this behavior.

Does the snowy owl let his place to the short-eared ? Look like if it will hapen ;) Great pictures !
Dominic :)

Joshua, I used a Sigma 500/f4.5 with a 1.4x teleconverter.

Thanks for the kind words.
