p.1 #1 · In-flight Burrowing Owl

Wow, these little guys are fast and erratic fliers!..they kind of remind me of the way bats fly by dipping, darting, and diving about everywhere in the air.
Half of my shots were nothing but sky and sometimes a blurred feather on the edge of the frame. I was spraying and praying and lucked out with just a couple keepers

That's why it's a challenge and why we don't see IF BO's everyday!! Those are wonderful esp. #2. And the eye-level look in #4 is priceless. Do these guys have young yet? Don

Jim, these are awesome...I would be so stoked to get one of these. How cool to have some neighborhood owls that you can just dial up.

Great shots Jim. I know how tough to catch the BO in-flight. You did a great job.
