Re: One man's two owls - EOS 1D mk II first results

Roy:
Thanks for the comments. I'll be back out to Livermore next Sunday evening to see who's there (no pun intended) and try to do a better job with flash, earlier for more light, and at a lower ISO. But there's no guarantee I'll see all or any of the Great Horneds again. (There were actually four of them - two flew off into light too dim for a photograph, leaving the 'teeter-totter' twins behind.)

You've got two once-in-a-lifetime behavioral shots of the owls. Since owls tend to be solitary except during nesting season, I'm guessing that these are first year birds still in a family unit.

If I were one to quibble, I'd suggest that a bit of fill flash would bring out more detail in backs of the Acorn Woodpeckers. Nonetheless if it were mine, I wouldn't discard the picture.

Bernd Heinrich's "One Man's Owl" tells the story of his rescuing Bubo, a great horned owl, and how Bubo learned to hunt red squirrels, resist mobbing crows and find shelter in Maine's northern forests. I've been watching a great horned owl in Sycamore Grove, a rural park in nearby Livermore, California.
