Chasing Game

~This pair has 5 healthy chicks, it was fun seeing him chasing her around a few times. The babies were playful and started to flap the wings. I only wish I could have gotten him in the frame. It is common to see adults posing but not in flight. Hope this composition works, almost full frame.

~Just as the sun was slowly going down near the horizon, this pair of owls started to get active. This pair is raising 5 babies. I was shooting the male that was on the perch, it was concentrating on something on the ground, that was when the female came in and grabbed it off the ground. All I heard was "female is coming in..female is coming in". She flew right by the male and I got lucky with this frame. It was a lucky day. This mom was working hard feeding the babies. Again, Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

In two days, I will be on my way back to Malaysia to meet with the Canon Malaysia folks to pick up my 1Dx, 600mm IS II and a few accessories. I am excited and it will be the beginning of another chapter of my photography journey.

Owls are such a funny looking creature. Funky proportions and outlandishly impressive eyes. Good set!

I was just thinking Troy that I had not seen pics of these guys in flight before.
Very nice action captures and best of luck with your new gear!
