Ontario Evenings!
Photographing short-eared owls in Southern Ontario is an enchanting experience, particularly in the golden glow of the evening sun.
These graceful hunters, with their unique flight patterns, are a joy to observe as they glide low over the fields in search of prey.
I especially love how the backlighting from the setting sun accentuates their soft plumage, casting a warm, ethereal light that makes every shot feel truly rewarding.
Patience is essential, as these owls are most active at dusk, but the opportunity to capture their beauty in such serene lighting is always worth the effort.
