p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Owl ejects pellet

WARNING: If you have a sensitive mind, you might want to avoid this post.

After watching this owl for about 2.5 hours, this is what happened:

-1 The owl looks up with a rather odd look on it's face

-2 It gave me a very interesting look

-3 The owl silently coughs silently

-4 and there is the pellet. Can you identify what it ate?

-5 The owl looks at me again

-6 now it looks good again

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Great images, Morris! Wow, you spent quite a lot of time with this one! Obviously he/she is not at all bothered by your presence. Great work, and thanks for sharing!

Exposure perfection Morris, super set showing great detail and sharpness overall. I don't know what it ate but it doesn't look like something I would want to eat!

Neat series, Morris. Great detail.

Looks like a nice sunny day. Must have been tough to expose this one. You nailed it Morris!

Morris, these are outstanding!!! I'm green with envy. My two outings for snowys have been unsuccessful. Had intended to go out again today but it's snowing like crazy and I'm a southern wimp. One of these days, though......
