Rocky, great shots! I have to ask: how far and what equipment was used?
Thanks! Distances vary, of course, but these were all between about 20 and 40 yards. I us a Canon 7DII for the fast AF and high frame rate, and a Tamron 150-600 lens.

Oh Yes!!! More great owls!!!
Thanks for sharing - keep 'em coming.
(I wouldn't give a 'hoot' if you posted them every day.)

These are amazing! I love them. I shoot short-eared owls, but never get this kind of light. Here they tend to come out just as the sun is setting and not a minute before, how do you get them in such good light?

Thanks, Larry! At this location, they actually hunt most of the day, though they are of course most active in early morning and late afternoon. I've found in shooting them over the past 3 years at this spot that between about 3 PM and sunset (around 5-5:30 here this time of year) is the best time for both action and light. These were shot between 4:00 and 4:30, so the sun was low in the sky and provided a nice golden light...
