I was not sure I was going to go to see the owls today, but I am glad I did. Usually there are too many people there on Sundays and too much noise. However, despite the large number of people everyone was quiet, and we got a treat.
At least 4-5 owls were up around 3:30 and the light started coming out from behind the clouds in spurts.
Many times the owls were flying just above the grass. We did see one successfully catch a vole. I have a few shots of it flying low with it, but I was facing the sun and the images were not that sharp. You can’t have everything, however it was a very satisfying viewing day. I hope you had a great weekend.

It’s nice photographing birds flying above an area as it gives one, the viewer also, a different perspective than a sky-high look of one overhead. Context is always good. Nice images.

Yes, the hawks here and the owls will fly right above the grass when hunting. I think they rely more on hearing. When they are flying high they are more into chasing other owls and hawks. Aerial acrobatics.

Love the shots, especially with the golden hues. We’ll be heading south soon and plan on dropping in at Anahuac to get the Short-Eared crossed off the 2025 list.
