A candidly captured sequence for sure, and shot at just the right height and at the best possible angle to
appreciate the details of this requisite elimination. I imagine the whole process only took seconds
( I mean the owl's business not your photographic protocols ).
Showing us, once again your well-honed knack for extemporaneous delight. You've previously recorded seldom-seen action
in the natural world with the success of a Action Movie director. Here too an excellent exposure, compliments to
your lighting crew. A white subject must be treated carefully - they can be so overblown. Was that the first take?
As an aside, I must admit to watching a Lesser Yellowlegs regurgitate a pellet last year but its bolus was notably slimy
and it was expelled with difficulty, not with such an owl-like melodramatic drop in the bucket.
Did you see evidence of other boluses in the vicinity?
Does an owl revisit the same perch to practice its weight-loss regime?
