Good one Eric, like them all - the third lion is neat peaking from behind 'cover', pink lids, the Monitor and Eles all enjoyable.

The fish eagle looks like he had a rough night! I like the second lion the best of the bunch, that's a really regal pose, he looks like he owns the world! What a great assortment of critters and images Eric

Hi Eric. Those Verreaux owls must be diurnal then? I saw a few of them this last month, sometimes in groups of three or more. 1 and 7 for me. Wonderful shots as always.

A very nice variety, Eric.
The movement in #10 is awesome. Feet or no feet its my favorite shot here.

Thanks so much Morris...I had a feeling you'd be partial to the ele trunk shot. And no, no flash for the third.

There was a water hole and it was actually teeming with water fowl but my panning and in flight skills didn't allow for a decent shot until well past...mea culpa

Thanks Tim...I am just trying to relive the past...and can't wait for the next adventure...hopefully in the spring.

Eagle owls have much poorer nocturnal vision than other owls, not bad but just not up to normal owl snuff. They have vision more akin to hawks and eagles as I understand. They also do seem to be seen in pairs with male and female staying relatively close to one another. I have seen many many more eagle owls than any sort of owl here...excepting maybe the snowies that irrupted in the northeast last year.

Thanks so much Chris...one of the unrealized benefits of not being able to shoot as high iso years ago was getting motion blur whether you wanted it or not

My top three are 1, 2, and then 7 - but it was a difficult choice. Exceptional work.

Nice work, Eric.
I especially like the artsy trunk shot
and the last, with the motion blur, works well for me this time.
