Incredible Raptor, the Short Eared Owl!

These beautiful specimens of nature unfazed by the wildlife enthusiasts adoring and admiringly snapping away. Photographers have come from as far away as Florida to witness this amazing show. Typically wildlife in urban settings tend to be far less skittish than in the wild.

Unfortunately for the Voles (field mice) the Short Eared Owls are superb hunters. AKA as raptors. The word “raptor” is based on Latin words referring to seizing or plundering…They absolutely wear this badge with pride.
