Since I might never get another opportunity to photograph a GHO family like this again I am going to milk it for all its worth.
So the first shot is just before the money shot....male owl opens its mouth and prepares to upchuck a pellet...photographer fires away excited to catch the pellet in free fall...buffer fills, photog curses...end of the effing story...aargh!
The others are of the owlets and more interesting to me at least, the perspective of mother owl outside of the nest. It is in this setting that you can really see just how huge she is in comparison to the nest and owlets. I only wish I had male and female side by side but no luck.
And finally, 1 whited winged dove in flight with an oh so busy background..."it could have been a contender"
Thirty minutes to game 3 of Stanley Cup Playoffs....have Monarchs and Swallowtails flying around in my stomach...back after the game friends
