Concerned a bit, but in this case I was actually more curious how you'd managed to take flash images of those owls without scaring them away...
Thanks for the link, by the way. CornellLab seems to share my thoughts since they specifically point out that
"greater care should be taken when photographing birds that are actively feeding at night."
Great shot

Phil, I don't put my subjects in harm's way to get the shots. Conrad has photographed this nest with me.
Eastern Screech owls are often nesting in the urban area in Florida. The key here is to understand their feeding pattern and behaviors. That is 90% of the work, the rest are technical stuff.
With these images, I have also been to some nests that didn't give me images like the one posted. When I go out, I don't spend more than 2 hours each evening so that they continue to hunt and feed.
My flashes are triggered remotely.
