Description

Several Short-eared Owls invaded my area this past winter. Normally just one or two show up in Rhode Island but in 2009 at least 10 were reported throughout the state. Short-eared Owls are diurnal and are often seen hunting low over beach dunes in search of mice, shrews, and other small mammals.

Nice to see you back!

Looks like the branch is coming out of the head of the owl. LOL

Wonderful treatment.

Thanks people. Yeah Patrick ... I wasn't too thrilled about that branch either. I guess I could have cloned it out but decided to limit the post-processing. The branch does serve a purpose by helping to add to the composition ... filling in some of the upper right. I dodged the highlights of the eyes so that they stand out a bit more and also adjusted levels, brightness, and contrast.
