These are all lovely. They really hit the sweet spot for me. You found a great location that really complements the owl while offering some nice detail and color to the frame as well. Are you shooting bursts and selecting best images or just selecting the best poses with single shots?
Thank you Brev,
I rarely shoot bursts preferring to drop the shutter when I see something I like and bouncing my finger to the rhythm of a birds wings when It's in flight. This saves a lot of sorting when I get home and saves card space as well. My challenge is to remember to look for the eyes being open for the owl when I'm there for a very long time.

Well done Morris, I fell like I'm missing out on all of the action, but the Snowies didn't show up this year around here. Terrific setting for these shots as well.
thank you Louie,
I positioned my self with the background in mind. I wanted that dark band of foliage behind the owl

Another great Snowy set, Morris! Your focus on the Snowy is tack-sharp, despite the tall grass - well done! Keep them coming!
GENE
Thank you Gene,
My camera was able to deal with the grass at this distance. When I got closer I had to manually override the focus

Beautiful images, Morris. Love how the owl hides in the tall grass. 
150 ft is awesome distance to work with. I used to see Bald Eagle about at least 1 and half football field and I liked it already.

thank you Tam,
The grass adds a lot to the images. It took me 3 hours yet I was able to get to 50 feet. Those photos have already been posted

Thank you Geoff,
No, they will head to the Artic any day now. Possibly you will see one as they pass through.

Very nice Morris. I know you have used a number of different flash extenders. Which is your favorite?
Ron
Thank you Ron,
I think the Better Beamer is still my pick even though it can burn marks on your flash

Very nice - good contrast between the owl and the brown blades of grass. Just curious to know if they are after crabs or other sea critters.
Thank you Golf,
I chose my shooting angle to get the most out of the grass and dark background. They will eat crabs if they can not find rodents which is unusual

Love the sand and grass.

Thank you Don,
I didn't even slither on the sand. Just walked up very slowly. Full description in my other post

Choosing the best angle to shoot from accents the grass and background trees

Great job, Morris. I love those snowies. I particularly like the contrast of colors you got with the brown grasses. Looks like he was quite comfortable and not disturbed by your presence.
Sue
Thank you Sue,
Mostly I let her get used to me and she watched others that were farther than me. When I was at 50 feet after 3 hours of working my way in, I goofed and spooked her.
