I enjoyed photographing this Great Horned Owl yesterday at the Outdoor Discovery Center in Holland, Michigan, particularly when it displayed its impressive and colorful wingspan.

This little Screech Owl displayed its ability to hide in plain sight pretty well today as I photographed it peaking from inside a hollow tree trunk while it blended in with the bark patterns. This was one of many birds available to see for visitors to the Outdoor Discovery Center during the annual Winterfest which was held today.

I had the pleasure of photographing the resident Great Horned Owl at the Outdoor Discovery Center in Holland, Michigan today during their annual Winterfest celebration. Although there wasn’t any snow to be seen, there was plenty of fun to be had, especially for photographers.

Head is Spinning

I captured the moment this Barred Owl decided to spin his head. Considering this photo was taken at 1/400th of a second, it must have been moving at incredible speed. Again, this was from the Blandford Nature Center Bird of Prey event today in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

This Long-Eared Owl gave me a pretty intense look today as I photographed it at the Blandford Nature Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan during their Bird of Prey event.

Snow in Spring… Snowy Owl

It was a great surprise to find a Snowy Owl still around this Spring in West Michigan today. It looked like his claws were ready for hunting, although with the snow gone, he might stand out a bit more than normal with his white feathers.

Long Eared Owl Napping

I caught this Long Eared Owl napping with it’s head tucked in during a windy day this afternoon. It was near the top of a pine tree, about 80 feet off the ground, hidden among the branches and pine needles. The tree was swaying several feet from the brisk wind in Ottawa County, Michigan.

Flying Snowy

I was happy to have the opportunity to capture this beautiful Snowy Owl in flight today as I traveled through Muskegon County in Michigan. It’s starting to feel like Spring as Temperatures rose to about 60 degrees!
