Looks like you caught him on his way to bed. Beautiful image Dan. #288231Sara And Dick August 03, 2005
Great capture Dan! We have 8 plus burrowing owls at Tamiami Airport, a small airport in Miami very near our home. Maintenance people mow the lawn around their burrows which are marked with bright orange cones. These guys allow us to approach within 8-10 feet. I shoot with the Canon 600 f/4.0 and Sara uses the Canon 300 f/2.8 with extenders. Again love what you did with this guy. Dick & Sara #1672549Bonnie C. Lackey August 03, 2005
Wonderful capture, Dan. It's fun to see creatures in their own habitat. #1673217Lorri Shane July 20, 2007
