Dang I missed this in my feed when I was sick. You have much better luck with owls than me, though the last photo looks like its about to take off.

That owl was amazing laid back. My wife jumped out of the car and walked closer and closer. Finally trudging through snow over her knees in the ditch to get to the edge of the field. It was one of the rare encounters where we actually said yeah I got that picture and left with the owl still sitting there. We almost always end up shooting and shooting pics until the bird finally flies away.
Maybe the owl was entertained watching the humans crawl through the snow lol. Maybe it really loves that dead tree for hunting.
