If your answer was yes, try Burrowing Owls. Respect their space and they'll be just as curious about you as you are them. These images were made with my 100-400 Canon II at 400mm from my blind. I use a very expensive blind because it works so well and is so comfortable, plus I can drive it to most any location. Yes, it's my car and the owls have no problems with allowing me to use it.
Owls are fascinating birds, for sure. Since they are raptors, maybe they were sizing you up for their next meal 🤔
