Do they leave your area in the Winter?
I don't think they leave per se, but as they become better hunters they hunt more and more at night, plus the night by itself gets longer. As a result I have about 15 minutes in the morning and on a good day 20 minutes in the evening of intersection of activity and ISO 25k @ f2.8. Just 6 weeks ago it was twice as long. When I show up early in the morning I can see them with infrared and then at twilight with the naked eye, but 1/10s exposure isn't suitable for a flying owl.
How do you know where to set-up in the morning relative to where you spot them with your IR?
I've been enjoying your GIF's. They are mesmerizing.
I actually chuckle wondering why you just don't switch over to video. The frame rate on that R1 is just nuts! It's hard to tell those are individual frames. Thank god for a super deep buffer eh!
