Northern Hawk Owl A rare visitor to these parts. This guy was nicknamed Stan and had a huge paparazzi back in 2018/19. These owls are known for being a photographer's dream because of their zero fear of humans One sunny Saturday I counted no less than 72 photographers, plus various onlookers, following Stan around these blueberry fields. I met people who had come from pretty far away (the island and Seattle) to hang with Stan. At first I thought the throng was a problem for the bird, but after watching it for a while and seeing it hunting, eating and not giving an eff, It was clear Stan was perfectly fine with the paparazzi. #stan #owloftheday #elite_raptors #elite_owls #dailyowl #onlyowls #dailybirdpix #bird #bird_perfection #bird_captures #bird_brilliance #bird_freaks #nuts_ #nuts_about_wildlife #planetbirds #earthcapture #sharecangeo #cangeo #natgeo #yourshotphotographer #best_bird_shots #best_birds_of_ig #best_birds_of_world #marvelouz_animals #feather_perfection @bbcearth @nature.photography @igsglobal (at Maple Ridge, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBgxwwtger4/?igshid=tcgvtnfyxvdl
