Maine Photographer Captures an Owl’s Stunning Hunt in the Bangor Area

Some stunning photography taken in the Bangor/Brewer area shows an owl doing what they do to survive: Stalking their prey.

Photographer Corey Masterson of Brewer, Maine

Corey Masterson sent me these photos of a barred owl, one of the most common owls in Maine, next to the great horned owl. Like every species in the wild, they hunt for their food. Unlike deer, who eat mostly grasses, weeds, twigs, leaves, plants, fruits, and nuts. The barred owl is like most humans and is a carnivore.

The stunning pictures I'm talking bout are below, and here's your warning:

If you or anyone else in your family who might be reading this is not comfortable seeing photos of animals in the wild hunting their prey for food, you may enjoy this article instead:

If you look closely, you'll see two things that this owl has caught. They're a little hard to make out as they are in the shadows.

This is the big one, though, and a stunning photo taken by Cory getting this amazing close-up.

This Maine barred owl managed to catch a snake and a mouse and has them clutched in its sharp talons while perched up in the trees.

That'll be one tasty meal for the owl.
