Short-eared Owls often hunt during the day, and I was hoping to see them when we visited the delta along Puget Sound known as the Samish Flats in February. After an unsuccessful attempt to see the owls earlier in the day, we returned just before sunset and saw four owls actively hunting. This one sat in a shrub for a long time, actively looking around the landscape, and allowed me to approach close enough to get this portrait.
