Another weekend hike, another owl species I haven't managed to catch on camera before. That makes four different species in the last 3 months.
This Short-Eared Owl was out over the marshes at DNRT's Ocean View Farm this afternoon. When I first spotted it from quite a way away it was flying with a partner, but only one bird got close enough to get shots of.

Went down to DNRT's Ocean View Farm today thinking it'd be a good day for hawks on the hunt after the cold snap. Saw two different large hawks along the road while driving there, but nothing in a few hours of hiking.
Then, when I was getting back to the car, I saw some sort of raptor land on a post along the field on the farm across the road. Turned out to be a Barred Owl.

Day 5 (and, since my vacation ends today, likely last) day of pursuing the small raptors down at #DNRT's Ocean View Farm today.
Light was… not great, but the birds were slightly more cooperative.
The American Kestrel actually came in to within 50 feet or so, and caught a Merlin post-sunset grabbing a Mourning Dove for a light snack. Did the best I could with the fading light.

Day four of Merlin chasing. Except, it's not a Merlin. Managed to get it in better light, although not any closer, and it's actually an American Kestrel. Northern Mockingbirds and a White-Tailed Deer wandering around today, too.

Day 3 of the Merlin maintaining his advantage and staying outside the useful limit of my lens. But, the House Sparrows and Northern Mockingbirds were a bit more cooperative.
