Yesterday, I spent 3 hours standing at the edge of a field hoping the owls at the other end of the field would come close enough for a decent shot but, it didn't happen. I was cold, tired and hungry so, I decided to call it a day. I was walking back to my car when it happened. An owl flew right by me and continued on along the side of the road. I was kicking myself for not being ready. My one chance for a shot and I had my camera shut off and slung over my shoulder. Then the incredible happened. He turned around and came straight back at me and this time I was ready. But then it got even better! He came within 20ft from my car, stopped, and went into a hover. He had spotted something in the grass. His wings and body were making all kinds of gyrations to maintain his hover but his eyes stayed locked on target. He held the hover long enough for me to fire off about 15 shots then he dove on his target
Sadly, he missed - but I didn't.
Funny, I wasn't cold, tired or hungry anymore.
