Recon Mission...

Uploaded: December 15, 2005

Description

Short-eared Owl. I was commissioned by local Mexican biologists to get this shot. They had discovered several of these beauties nesting on some brushy dunes on Punta Estero (near Ensenada, MX), but had been unsuccessful getting a photo. Living only minutes from the area, I made only two visits and got lucky the second trip. I happened upon their nesting area and 6 owls flew up within 15-20 ft in front of me. Exciting! This owl circled me just long enough to get a few images.

Discussions by Category: You can view photo discussions on various themes in the Community > Photo Discussions section of the site.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.


 

The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
