Buffer is never an issue with Great Horned or Barred owls, because if you catch those flying for 5s you pop the champagne, but Barn Owls or Shorties you can run out of buffer easy.
You ain't shittin' about these Great Horned Owls...the urban couple near my house fly after dark like clockwork like you said they would, and they always fly away from the sunset into deep into the neighborhood. I've yet to try and take my fast glass out to shoot them, but until then, nothing but just a bunch of urban owl abstracts. I do think I could get them in morning light because I've seen them missing in the tree after sunrise, but I don't have time for that right now. I'm sure you would do well with this couple in the AM.

Sadly "my" screech owls nest in an artificial home and would not be seen in daylight if their life depended on it... Love seeing them!
Up until a few years ago, had no idea how to find them and had never seen one in the wild. Lots of trial and error and stiff necks Fortunate now I have spot where most of the time I can find one. Doesn't mean it's a good shot, but can probably get a glimpse.
I should post some more photos from Slovenia and Croatia... but first some fall photos from last Sunday in beautiful Sulov, northern Slovakia. This was my very first visit to this area and man - was I missing out...

While all are fantastic, the last one really is super!

As usual, action was very limited today, and I stood in the wrong place for the very few possible money shots that were on offer.
To illustrate, I have a photo of an owl on the ground as it was hunting. Observe the exposure info. Also including a version that shows what I saw with my eyes, and how I found the owl in the first place.

Haha! Talk about shooting blind.
That first shot is fantastic and well worth your efforts. All you need is one money shot from any outing my friend.
