Yesterday, we had a bright, sunny morning, which was probably the reason this young owl kept its eyes shut to mere slits much of the time that I watched it. Two other owls were hunting in the same general area where I found this one. However, I would have needed a super telephoto lens to get acceptable shots of either of them. It was enough to see three Snowy Owls in the same morning. This winter has been very generous with its gifts and I am deeply grateful.
I've got that right, don't I?
A few have mentioned they never tire of fall foliage shots and I reckon we'll continue to test that theory for a while. The winds over the last few days have done their annual duty, yet the oaks endure as they tend to do, the last to give up the ghost...tho some only do so with the arrival of new buds in the spring, somehow hanging on throughout our trying winter.
Another very nice day for late October, so off we go to the canoe to enjoy a relatively rare windless day.
This egret landed near me, and soon caught a fish. I was fortunate to get the whole scene captured. This was the successful removal of the fish from the lake.

Male American Kestrel flying off to a tree with a nice Vole catch at Lake Galena. Peace Valley Park, New Britain PA. Right place and time,but on the wrong side of the sun.
got up early Saturday to catch sunrise, the overcast clouds had other ideas and created a different mood than was expected
The Black Skimmer is one of my favorite birds down at the shore. I just love watching them skim along the water catching fish. Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Galloway, NJ.
This egret actually caught a decent sized fish! Most were very small as the heron was catching the other day.

Spent last Saturday trying to get this shot and took about a thousand - most of which were rubbish for one reason or another - but you only need 1!
Had to try and work out exactly where the Kingfisher would emerge and manually focus with the fastest shutter speed and maximum depth of field possible (whilst not pushing the ISO too high). So in other words 'spray and pray' as soon as the bird dives.
Even at f/7.1 there is only a few millimetres depth of field - luckily on this occassion she emerged parallel to my plane of view and from the right spot.
Even for the R5 the animal eye AF can't grab the bird eye diving or emerging - but at least it can take 20 frames a second which helps greatly with this type of thing.
When storm clouds gather and the skies grow dark, i know you will be my shelter and keep me safe from harm ๐๐
