You can also email me at aMontanaView@outlook.com. About me: I live south of Missoula, Montana on the west side of the Bitterroot valley. Many of my photos are taken here in western Montana, but also around the world. I love being outdoors. I hike, bike, fish, hunt, ski and ALWAYS take photos. I use a Canon 7D and 5D Mark III (with a few lenses and tripods) and shoot in RAW. I process my photos into JPG with Adobe Lightroom with as few adjustments as possible.

Short-eared Owl - Asio flammeus

Potential Species of Concern, year-round resident in Montana. Short-eared Owls are a small to medium-sized owl. They are excellent fliers and are more diurnal than most owls, commonly active and hunting during the day. They prefer open grasslands, plains, and agricultural areas with suitable vegetation and food. This owl was photographed on Duck Road north of Ninepipe NWR in the Mission Valley.
