Ural Owl Gallery
Kushiro-shitsugen National Park
Somewhere deep within the Kushiro-shitsugen National Park, in the Kottaro wetlands along the banks of the Kushiro, I found the elusive Ural Owl. Named for the Ural Mountains of Russia which is part of their natural range and where the first specimen was collected, these owls are threatened by humans eliminating the hollow trees they nest in.
Come and meet Ezo Fukurou.

All these photos are with the Canon 1DxMkii & EF 600mm f/4 L IS III. I started with no extender and then made my way up to the 1.4x and finally the 2x to get closer to the Owl.
The video was also shot using the Canon 1DxMii in Log. Find them all in my bag.
