20110105 - 2 057, 364 SERIES, Northern Saw-whet Owl3 HP.jpg

Amherst Island

My first two images of 2011, both of a small Northern Saw-whet Owl. This is the smallest northern Owl. It is fluffy and large-headed. It is nocturnal and roosts during the day; however, it is difficult to find as it doesn't move about, even when one gets close. It blends in well with its surroundings.




SEE http://www.pbase.com/image/131712442 for a detailed description on how these two images were composed.

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor AF-S 500mm f/4G ED VR
1/200s f/5.0 at 500.0mm iso640 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
