surprised they aren’t going into murder mode on the Owl. here in Canada if you walk in like a 10km radius of where ever the hell their nest might be they will take that as a personal attack on their well being and seek revenge on you.
The students at the University of Waterloo in Ontario even created an app to warn you of potential nest areas and geese attacks.
That sounds like a useful little app! They’re not any more polite when they come see us down here in the US.
I’m really wondering if those geese are unaware it’s there. I don’t think it’s too far away from them, Shorties aren’t very large owls. Audubon has them listed ad 40cm tall while the goose they say is around 60cm for comparison.
Snowy Owl - Size: 24" (61 cm); About the size of a Heron, Canada Goose or Larger; About the size of a Mallard or Herring Gull
Short-eared Owl - Size: 16" (41 cm); About the size of a Crow; About the size of a Mallard or Herring Gull

It’s hard to estimate the distance when there’s this much depth on the shot, but I’d guess they’re at least 20m away.
I absolutely love the photo. This is like worlds colliding!
It was a really fun photo to come across, and I couldn’t wait to share with you all.
