Dinner Delivery

The young Barn Owls who haven't yet flown have been waiting in the doorway of the owl house for over an hour, screeching "Feed Me", "Feed Me" over and over. Barn Owls only hunt after dusk, and this is the first delivery of the night. The young owls haven't eaten in at least fifteen hours, and they are hungry and impatient. It's a matter of life and death to them. In the preceding picture in my photostream I have a picture of the two young barn owls who live in this owl house on our property. In the description for that image, I tell the story of how and why we came to have an owl house.

 

Strobist info: Put a bare YN560-II on a light stand camera left, and a bare YN560 on a light stand camera right. Lights on sticks. Both strobes in manual, and slave mode were triggered by the pop up flash on my D90.

 

I have all of my owl pictures in my Barn Owl set which can be seen here. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157630045851110/...
