Here is another short, slow motion clip of a Short-eared Owl returning to its lookout perch:

Short-eared Owl returning to its lookout perch - Ulster County, New York Recording and editing these videos make me notice more and more fascinating things about birds. Things that are easily missed while taking photographs as they happen in a split second. Watch this video again, a pay attention to how focused this owl was on that post.

Recording and editing these videos makes me notice much more fascinating things about bird’s behavior. Things that are easily missed while taking photographs as they happen in a split second. Watch this video again and pay attention to how focused this owl was on that post. It didn’t take its eyes off it at all. How about that body correction before landing but head staying still? How about those talons spreading out right before the landing? Pretty neat, isn’t it?
