Another great day at the field with this owl. Tons of good shots.
I know that days are numbered for this owl to migrate back to nesting grounds, so I take every opportunity I have to take some shots. This owl has been so friendly and tame that sometimes I think that not only is not afraid of humans, but it shows some curiosity about us.

Mako, I think this is one of the best images in your series.

Ludo, another beautiful shot with a lovely approach POV.  Being aware of your limited time with them makes your ops even more special.

A very nice picture. IMO, to be totally perfect, you'd need to have both eyes illuminated by sunlight. Given the fact that you seem to have many opportunities, try to meet this challenge! Or maybe you already have some shots. But anyway, this is a very nice picture as is.
