Rob McKay Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · Kestrel Kill on an Owl Hunt (6) We finally had some sun light today so went looking for the resident Long-eared owl this afternoon. Started out around 2:00 PM, it was windy and COLD, had to be -15c with the wind chill. I arrived early and noticed a female Kestrel hunting along the hydro lines. The out of focus dive! #1 She hit ground hard and popped up through the grass with her prize. #2 The death pinch! She hauled it back up the line to finish the job.. #3 #4 The look #5 After this she took the mouse and stashed it in a pine tree, then carried on looking for more. Oh yeah, we did find our Long-eared Owl, this time in some light. Edited on Jan 20, 2008 at 01:21 AM Jan 20, 2008 at 01:20 AM

Rob McKay Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #3 · Kestrel Kill on an Owl Hunt (6) Thanks Maggie, A few of the shots are not that great, but they do help tell the story so I through them in. Man o man, was that a fun outing! Rob Jan 20, 2008 at 03:47 AM

anthony whitmo Online Image Upload: On p.1 #5 · Kestrel Kill on an Owl Hunt (6) Rob, I haven't seen you post in awhile > I've been away but check in > So nice to see you're post. Great capture on the Kestrel > Shot number 2 Is KILLER!! 4 & 5 have some tuff lighting from the side but still good shots. The Long eared owl looks weird to me > I've never seen a long eared owl before. The picture looks stretched out vertically. Is this d/t resizing or is this how the bird looks naturally?? I think I've seen one other post of this owl and If I remember it looked the same way. Those eyes are intense. So great job on number 2 and looks like you were in the right place at the right time >> The Mouse is in focus and I think the caption should read " Uh Oh!" Or something a little more adult in nature Anthony Jan 20, 2008 at 11:38 AM

Or something a little more adult in nature Anthony Thanks Anthony, The Long-eared owls are very strange looking Anthony, even more so when in the flesh. A better name for them I think would be Long-Owl. Thanks for you comments, appreciated, Rob Jan 20, 2008 at 02:49 PM
