3. What concentration on that owl's face. And the movement was really cool.

Thanks.

4. That is god-damned terrifying!!

Can you imagine its prey, seeing those talons coming? :scared: :cry:

[rebel with a cause]

9. My thoughts exactly!

Something tells me that you and I identify with the victims in life. :hug:

13. Yeah, not unlike a tank commander seeing an A-10 in his rear view mirror.

It's banded on both legs, so I'm betting a sanctuary resident. Set up the camera on automatic, put a perch with Big Bad's favorite snack right in front of it, roll cam and get the hell out of the way.

16. Not a great grey

maybe a great horned, but there's something about it that says not quite.

Great Grey Owls look like Barred Owls on steroids!

"Barred Owls on steroids" :spray:

[Noseyaboutpollution]

19. Scarecrow needed on the cams?

Just a suggestion.

20. I wanted to show it to my cat but figured it wouldn't be fair to tease him that way...if he could

make out the image.
