My first set of great horned owls (or any kind of owls for that matter). Very excited to find them, now that I know they may live around here, will try to catch them more often. Any tips from pros on if these guys can be caught flying? Looks like they hunt primarily at night, though are active on cloudy days also.
All shots using 300 f2.8 + 2x III on 5D III. Larger shots available here
1. Saw the momma up on the tree. Lake level was lower and I was able to go further the trail than I had been able to before. Luckily I saw this lady up the tree:

Focal Length: 600mm
2. It appeared that she was not alone, and upon further investigation:

Focal Length: 600mm
3.

Some more catch of the day, which I hope does not become food for this predator:
