Owl Short-eared (Asio flammeus) “spotted in the grass” – Nome, Alaska, USA

This is a selected series of 7 images. I spotted the Short-eared Owl in the grass, it seemed to be looking direct at me and suddenly took off directly towards me. I clicked multiple images when it turned and flew into cover. What an exhilarating unique experience.
