\"Short-earedShort-eared Owl in a fog – Nikon D300, f6.3, 1\/1000, ISO 500, +1.0 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light, not baited, called in or set up<\/span><\/p>\n

Isn’t this Short-eared Owl lovely with her big yellow eyes? It had been a while since I had seen a Short-eared Owl. I was quite surprised when I spotted her on top of some snow-covered Rabbitbrush late last month along the causeway to Antelope Island State Park.<\/p>\n

It was a very foggy morning and the ground was covered in snow, the snow helped to brighten the scene some but I still had to increase my exposure compensation to +1.0 in order to expose the\u00a0Short-eared Owl<\/span><\/a> in a fog well in camera.<\/p>\n

This image may be a bit high key for some people’s tastes but for me this image\u00a0is a window showing a small portion of this owl’s world.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
