Great shot and really nice work Alan. Is he a Burrowing Owl perhaps?

It's the Little Owl

Beautiful shots Alan!

Not as nice as Alan's, but here are a few we got a few years back. Funny thing is we aren't supposed to get these little guys in my part of the world either, but there he was. A guy actually argued with me about it. When I showed him the photos he told me that I didn't take them where I said I did.

People are amazing.

They are amazing. It’s remarkable how some will never back down. Anyway, owls are great.

Shorebird standing on the ice of local reservoir, October 23rd. Possibly a greater yellowlegs but I'm no avian authority. I know there are occasions when this species may migrate south as late as October or even November.

7DMII + Sigma 150-600mm C zoomed out to 600mm. It was quite some distance from me so I had to crop in a lot.

Nice shot, dpc!

Little Egret, R5 + 100-400mm II + 1.4xTC @560mm, (iso 1600, 1/8000, by mistake). I love their feet and this guy was showing off his.

Asian Barred Owlet - EOS R + 100-400 + 1.4tc @560
There was no response from the R at first then saw the grip not attached message.
Had to physically remove to get it back working, the usual pop the battery trick didn't work.

Very nice shot, Alan.

Beautiful shot. Nicely done, briangus.

R5 + 100-400mm II set at 371mm (don't make that mistake on a prime). The first is my favourite pose for a Nuthatch, looking down, at iso5000. The second, looking up is at iso8000. Both are rather cropped. Processed in DxO PL4 - DeepPRIME required for these.

Hadn't read and said to myself, they should be better but now I understand.

Which reminded me a 90D excursion. This was taken at 400mm but I found some similar ones taken at 349mm!

Wow!! Seems that these people R5 + 100-400 II + good photographer work very well together. Very impressive IQ.
