This was rather exciting for me.
This Great Horned Owl, was flying directly at me. after#4 I ducked, and missed getting all of his wings as he landed.
They are very fast quiet flyers. this sequence didn't last very long, but got my heart pumping.


Desert Museum.

Hope you enjoy seeing these

Love, love the Desert Museum. I got a remarkably similar sequence several years ago. I don't know if it was the same owl, but that branch looks familiar...

Nice shots, JD.

thanks Terry,
I also love the Desert Museum, especially the Raptor Free Flight.
It is probably the same Owl.
