Seth Owens is a lifelong North Dakotan who spends nearly every free moment behind the camera, chasing wildlife across the country. His birding obsession grew from an outdoor-centered upbringing and his training as a wildlife biologist, eventually evolving into a deep passion for documenting the species that define the northern Great Plains.
If it has fur or feathers, Seth is interested—but his true addictions are photographing grouse, waterfowl, and the rare and elusive species that call the region home. His work has appeared in multiple magazines and publications, and he holds a remarkable accomplishment: he is the youngest person ever to photograph all five species of Prairie Grouse.
Seth is also a dedicated educator. He teaches Hunter’s Safety, coaches high school wrestling, and leads habitat and pollinator education events, as well as biology-focused field trips for local schools. As a guide, he looks forward to sharing his skills, field experience, and passion for the natural world with others.
