It was cold but very beautiful out, and I was lucky enough to locate TWO very distant Snowy Owls in Orange County after work this evening. I spent an hour and a half watching these two incredible birds interact with one another – what a privilege!
Additionally, I had two Short-eared Owls, one of which landed not very far from my car just as the sun was setting. This photo was taken at ISO 12800!
Matt,
That had to be such a thrill to watch them. The day I saw one on machinery get up and fly around was just wonderful. They are so majestic. We are really blessed this year to see such beautiful birds. I do hope I can see one at least one more time this year.
Have a great weekend. I’m on call again tonight. I’m getting anxious for the streams to open up and go on the wood duck path at Wallkill.

It really was a thrill Wilma. I saw them again tonight, here’s a link to a video I shot:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYJ0NmIvJ3o
