Good day for the owls today, got my first Great Horned Owl BIFs!
I watched what appeared to be an adult teaching a juvenile to hunt.
They were pretty far off, and I was across a river, so couldn't get any closer (hence the mega-crop!)

Very nice series. I especially like the last one.

Dang, embarrassed to follow-up after antonn's post, but what the hey.
This Osprey was a bit far away at Mono Lake, CA.
Makes for some decent environmental BIFs at least.

I hope it missed you (and your camera and lens) .

Well, it would put the ‘fluorine’ (fluorocarbon) coating to the test.

A red kite or a red shi*e?

When I visited the Isle of May with a small group of photographers, a tern shat on the front of the lens and the inside of the lenshood of one of the groups members. He had a hard time cleaning the lens and the black velvet of the lenshood. It was a Nikon, the terns did not dare shit on a Canon.

Do not challenge the terns...
