When I say, ‘chilling out’, if you look close, you can see I mean that quite literally. Check out the frost that had gathered on its face and on its ears!
Taken a few weeks ago when temperatures had plunged into the single digits and a hoar frost was coating the landscape – and the owls.
I’ve had a few encounters with these cool owls this past winter and am thankful for them as they are very elusive and it usually takes a lot of work to get any sort of a decent capture of them given their propensity to hide in the densest brush possible.
