Photographed in the eastern cliffs of Darwin Bar of Genovesa Island in the Galapagos from a moving Panga boat.
It rained during our hike on the eastern side of Genovesa Island (after climbing Prince Phillip’s Steps). But this short-eared owl was begging to be photographed, so with one person holding up an umbrella, I took my camera out of its ziplock bag and took this shot. If you look closely you can see the rain drops against the background.
