p.1 #1 · Barred Owls and a snake

After getting some decent shots of two young owls perched together, noticed the adult very close to the trail obviously with its eyes on something, It briefly looked at me and then dove to the ground and came back up with a snake which it played with for a bit and then flew off and handed it to one of the kids who worked on it. I missed the hand-off which took place quickly down the trail and ways and missed the act of swallowing due to my card being full...

But it was fun regardless!
