Short-eared Owl 
Boundary Bay
British Columbia


The Snowy Owl irruption influenced a lot of birders and photographers to visit Boundary Bay.  I made three separate visits to photograph the birds.  There was a lot of controversy around how many photographers got off the trail to photograph.  I never stepped foot off the trail.  Many people were focused on the snowies and neglected enjoying the more usual species found there.  I was happy to capture this image of a short owl.  I enhanced this image by texturizing the background which was out of focus fencing.
