Found these 3 owls along side a road thanks to my UPS photographer friend.

I like these shots. The owls look so intense

I LOVE those little owls! Still need a photo of one in the wild. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for the comments. I did get a couple of flight shots. I'm not sure what it was hunting... never did see the kill. They blend into the busy background and did not come out as well as I had hoped.

I'd be happy with that!

Cool in flight shots! The first set are very sharp...as is their intense gaze

Very nice, I'd love to see these owls someday, well done.

Nice captures. Well done on the flight shots.

We lost our burrowing owls that were nearby to development. I never did get any pictures.

Great pics! I'm still trying to find some in the wild. Thanks for sharing!

Cool! Whereabouts in ND did you see them? I went through ND this summer on my way to Yellowstone, wound up picking up a wounded great horned owl on the side of I-94 near Fargo.

I saw your posts about the owl. These shots are taken between Devils lake and Cando. ( North Eastern ND) We are about 80 miles north and 90 miles to the west of Fargo.

Thanks for all the comments!
