| Caption : | Owls are typically nighttime hunters. One of the exceptions is the Short-eared Owl. This species can be seen flying over grassy meadows in search of its prey, which is typically small rodents, as can be seen in the talons of this bird. I watch as this owl plucked what I guessed was a red-backed vole out of the grass. It flew away, only to be hounded immediately by a nearby raven that had been watching closely. The raven harassed the owl until it dropped the vole. The raven then swooped down and caught the vole before it hit the ground. |
