In the distance I see a crow make a "dive bomb" manoeuver which I recognized from over a decade of owl watching. I knew it must be the owl's hiding place. No owl in sight. Several minutes later, sweeping across my view fairly close, 2 crows sandwiching a white owl like an ice cream sandwich. Saw the owl disappear behind some brush and likely landing on the ground.
At the same moment, knew I made the wrong decision to leave the camera in the car. When I returned minutes later, saw the owl perched on a fallen tree. Crows had left by then. Had to kneel to keep out of view from passing cars and wished I had knee pads. Eventually sat down on the hard ground and splayed the tripod legs. Having this owl to myself is a refreshing change from most winters. The temp was cool and great to have no mosquitos around. Canon 7D MK2, 500 f4 II, 1.4x III and Gitzo. ISO 1,600. Thanks for looking. |
