Decided to head over to Shingle Creek late this afternoon to see if I could capture a few images of my Barred Owl friends. After walking about ½ mile along the creek I began hearing an owl (actually I think it was 3 owls) west of the trail in the cypress swamp. I began to hike in that direction but it was not long before I was into the mud and water. All of the rain we have had recently has the area much more flooded than normal. Fortunately I was far enough that I was able to see one of the owl perched on a nearby branch. He sat there quite patiently as I carefully moved around the area trying to get a better angle, framing, and a pleasing background.

Had the most awesome day at Claire Carter and Hawkeye Bird of Prey Photography Workshop in Thoresby Park. A privilege to get close to such beautiful birds and I learned such a lot about bird photography that I hope I can put in to practice in future. My photos (just a few here out of 100s I took today) are pale imitations of what is achievable but I'm happy with (some of) my efforts with limited kit.
Mom feeding her two babies. The one on the left is larger and more agressive and was getting most of the food. She/he kept knocking the other back, but mom is a good mother and she would occasionally hand a hunk over to the smaller eaglet. After a bit the larger of the two got full and mom began feeding the little guy.
