A captivating Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus) perfectly camouflaged among dried winter grassland. The owl's distinctive yellow eyes and facial disc stand out against its mottled gray and brown plumage, which blends seamlessly with the surrounding tall grass. This ground-dwelling owl species is shown in its natural habitat, demonstrating its remarkable adaptation to grassland environments. The soft, diffused lighting suggests either dawn or dusk, when these birds are typically most active hunting for prey.
