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
As someone who has also had Basset Hounds, I appreciate how to tell the difference! 😆
