I saw these three Long-eared Owlets at the Summer Lake Wildlife Area in southeastern Oregon last May. They were perched within a thick stand of willow trees.
There were rumors of these owls being in the area and I wanted to get a quick glimpse of them. I was lucky to spot these secretive, well-camouflaged birds. Older Long-eared owlets like these are referred to as “branchers” since they often perch on tree branches near their nests.
Great photo of owls. I have tried, but have yet to succeed capturing a decent photo of an owl.
Thanks! Try checking your local bird spotting website or Audubon group. Owls often stay in one spot or nearby. 🦉
