Saw the Great horned owl and usual pair of kestrels on the spit saturday but this time the Great horned sat still and let me get around with the light behind me. Went very slow and patient and then it flew right over my head afterwards while i was sitting there, not away like when spooked, so cool. Also the pair of kestrels were feeding and while walkign the trail walked right under the kestrel feeding, so neat but graphic photo of nature at work

Enjoy and good Birding

Amazing pics both of them, I always wondered how the little Kestrel manages to find anything...

"To be a better nature photographer, be a better naturalist.The more you know about nature,the more you will see to photograph. Develop a deeper compassion for the world around us, and live by an ethic of concern for the subject matter."

Nice shots.  Neat to see the big feathered feet on the owl.
