Always fun to have an Owl push past low.
There were a few other shots, but no time for zoom, or even focus. Basically out of focus head shots.
The flight was very unexpected since the nest area was the opposite direction. Turns out he just wanted to different view of the swamp.
Barred Owl hunting Crayfish.
I’ve never seen one in flight. Very nice!
Not a single sound… standing there, buzzed by the bird…amazing
Though the same thing happened to Ellen, the Owl actually brushed her aside and flew down near her feet to catch something 😂😂😂
Beautiful, the first would fit well on the cover of the Nat. Geo. magazine. Great shot!
Thanks so much. Owls hunt around a few small swamp ponds nearby. Each year we get to watch, even as the young ones grow. With luck this year will be the same.
