This long-eared owl shot stands out to me as love the way the “Ears” look completely relaxed and at ease with my presence. I love the details in the feathers have been able to capture with these beauties.

    If you’re curious about how to recognize this species out in the wild, here’s the method I use:

    Do their ears hang low? (No, except when upside down) Do they wobble to and fro? (Yes) Can they tie ‘em in a knot? (No) Can they tie them in a bow? (Knot that I’m aware of, no) Can they throw them o’er their shoulder like a continental soldier? (???) Do their ears hang low? (Again, mostly no)

    Usually works best for distinguishing between this type of owl and beagles
