Owls caught in the lens of my cameras | Show Me A Photo Contest Round 151
Hello, friends!
For the 151 round of Show Me A Photo Contest @nelinoeva suggested making a collage of photographs of birds.
To create a collage of bird photographs, I chose photographs of owls that I took at different times in our area.
The left photo in the top row and the middle photo in the bottom row were taken by me in March 2019 in the courtyard of the local history museum. A pair of long-eared owls apparently decided to hunt museum mice and spent several days in the museum courtyard.
The middle photo in the top row and the right photo in the bottom row were taken by me in September 2020 in a village garden. A pygmy owl was resting on a viburnum bush and I managed to take a few photos.
The right photo in the top row and the left photo in the bottom row were taken by me in August 2017 in a pine forest, while walking with the dog. My dog Sayan scared an owl dozing not high from the ground; it was a great owl. The tawny owl flew ten meters away, sat on a higher branch and began to watch my dog. At this time I was able to sneak closer to her and take photographs several times.

Friends, thank you for your attention, see you soon.
Best regards @irvet
Beautiful photos!
@michupa thank you))
Ух ты... какие классные
Последнее время на прогулку с псом фотоаппарат не беру, смартфоном довольствуюсь, но там зум только цифровой, птицы на деревьях плохо получаются
Oh, I love the owls. 🙂
It is interesting how they choose such places like museum garden.
@nelinoeva thank you))
I think hunting brings them there
Are those 2 different species? Do you know zoological names of those birds?
Long-eared owl, scientific name "Asio otus"
Tawny owl, scientific name "Strix uralensis"
Sparrow owl, scientific name "Glaucidium passerinum"
Thanks bro, I'll read more about them now in google.
Awesome seeing the owls something I would love to see more often, brilliant photographic evidence they are alive and well in your region.
Hello @joanstewart. I would also like to see owls more often, but, alas, encounters with them are quite rare.
Beautiful pictures. I loved them, it seems to me that you like owls. I didn't know there were pygmy owls.
Thanks for sharing them.
Regards @irvet
@popurri, спасибо за добрые слова. Я тоже не знал что существует карликовые совы, пока одну из них не встретил в саду))
Have a nice weekend!
