Great shots, all of them. I'm sitting here this morning trying to figure out how to get closer to some snowy Owls. They sit for hours. In the pouring rain, all day yesterday, I could only get as close as 200 yards. Could I borrow one yours to come out here and teach the SO to fly? How close and what lens did you use? Really like aerial combat shot!

Thanks, RRS. No snowy owls in our area this year, so I am a little envious. :-) These ranged from about 25 yards to 100 yards away. They were not too concerned with my presence in the truck. I was using my Nikon 200-500 lens.
