Burrowing Owls In-Flight - These owls look small when they are on the ground. But they have a large wingspread when they take flight. They also have a higher tolerance for carbon dioxide than do most other birds, which allows it to nest and roost in tunnels lacking fresh airflow.

Louie,

I like the a9iii for birds in-flight and sports photography. It has it's limitations though, I wish it had 50mp instead of 24.6mp. The Pre-Capture feature is very nice, but it fills memory cards fast and pretty much requires the CFexpress cards ( I recommend higher than 160GB ). My go to camera is still my Alpha 1

Wow... these are really nicely done.
While I've photographed burrowing owls many times, I have never been successful photographing them in flight.
Bravo!
