Most of my images at the burrowing owl location shows desert conditions but there is a row of fairly dense young trees and this burrowing owl happened to be right in front of that foliage for a change…

Thanks Joshua for another great image.
I have noticed before that birds hold their eyes in a horizontally level position whereas their wings can be all over the place, like almost vertically up and down. This owl seems to do that too. Interesting.
Thanks again for your amazing flow of stunning burrowing owl pictures.
You seem to have a lot of your time dedicated to them, much appreciated.
Bought these cuphea flowers few days ago after reading about how hummingbirds love them. It's very true based on what I have seen the last few days. Pictures don't lie. Two from this morning. The bird eye AF of the Sony A1 works very well when the hummers are hovering over the flowers.
These are from Diskit Gompa in Nubra Valley, on a trade route over the Karakoram La, dating from around 200 BC; we know that from the rock carvings made in Kharoshthi script. Colour purity expresses itself as much in whites and blacks as in colours. Here is the 1993 Distagon from CZ, it's as good as the modern Voigtlanders.
