I've been a member for almost 5 years now. My opinion and consensus regarding your bird photos today and in the past are the best I've seen on here. A few questions. I understand "baiting" but do other birders find fault with it? And if so then why? Also having never owned a 1D series camera would it be an insult to you if I asked for you to send me an email of a few shots of the original files resized before any editing of the owl photos?
Thanx

John

It is an interesting topic about baiting. Persoanlly I don't do it but have no objection about people doing it either, as long as the wildlife does not suffer any consequence. Baiting can be with food or in other forms like a place to rest/nest without being worry about hunters, as in a National Wildlife Refuge, or Alligator Farm in Florida. I did take the benefit of shooting in NWR and Alligator Farm.

Bait or no bait, it still takes a lot of effort and talent to get wonderful shots like this. I am sure glad that you did it and

I have shot at Gatorland in Florida and it was pretty cool. I agree about always putting the bird/animal's welfare first.

Thanks Stephen! He is a real speeding bullet!

Hi Jody,

This is a really outstanding set near perfection. Thanks for sharing your wonderful images.

Just the other day i had a brown hawk owl vist my garden and I managed to dash in and out and shoot a couple of frames. He was perched quite high on the branh of a mango tree so the angle was not too good. Used a flash and he had bright yellow eyes with cherry red pupils. Dunno if this was red eye. I have seen him again a few times but never manged to be quick enough to lock focus. Must keep

Have you ever heard of the old saying, "Wise as an Owl"? That's how they get wise I guess, learning through the window!

Thanks for the kind comments, sir!

Jody, when are you going to get this BIF thing down These are absolutely amazing. #10 is literally one of the best BIF shots of any species I have ever seen. Great work.

Brian


Well Brian, I figure in about 20 years I should just start getting into a groove with this flight thing, just in time for my hands to start getting shaky!

Thanks a bunch, kind sir!

Yep, just like your photo here:

and thank you for your constructive critique!


So, you baited the owl with seeds and berries in a feeder, I think NOT.

Nice avatar you have, speaks volumes.
