I'm so envious of your work with these owls. Great job !!
Thank you. With Barn Owls, the only real problem is finding them - for the rest you just have to show up. Same with Shorties I guess. Getting flight shots or even sequences of Great Horned or Barred is what really makes you question your life choices
I'm thankful to the handful of guys like you who keep this forum alive and kicking. Keep 'em coming if you know what I mean. These are some of the best "wild life" shots I've seen posted here.

I don't know how you guys do it, because I learned shooting urban owls is dangerous! I pointed my camera up at this guy in near darkness and he tried to shit on me. It was a torrential downpour, about 3' in diameter. It was like a firehose of brown syrup coming down at me, had to dive out of the way into oncoming traffic and barely missed it.

Love owls, but there are (challenges) . Happy to hear he/she missed.

..Had me laughing! I am follically challenged and it seems birds enjoy taking a "bombing run" on the bald head! The "hits" are more than the misses!
