Owl Flight
Canon 5DIII and 500mm lens: 1/3200 second at f/4 on ISO 1600
This owl caught sight of something from a branch above the grass and silently launched. It glided past me and then dropped into the tall grass – flying away with a mouse in its beak shortly thereafter.

I see Christopher Martin and think this should be good. Then the photo emerges – wow. Better than expectations. Love the action and intensity of one of my favourite creatures.

Love it! I tried to get a picture of a Barred Owl swooping down the other day and ended up with a corner of the wing!

Wildlife photography is certainly a quixotic endeavor! When you do hit the windmills, it sure is rewarding though. Best of luck on your next encounter with your owl.
