As I was about to leave again a car alarm spooked the owl but he re-positioned again on a dune right next to the road.  I could have gone around the dune on foot to get better light but felt better just leaving him be as he seemed very comfortable near the roadway and didn’t seem to care about passing cars.

I have seen photographers pressure these birds before and wanted no part in stressing the bird for a better shot.

The rest of these photos and video on page 1 were taken from my car.
