A real Wild One...Wild One!

Was driving out through the local woods when we saw a bird in the road which took off as we approached. Looked "raptor-ish" so I slowed and watched it. It stopped in a tree directly opposite my car. Fortunately I was on the way to the studio and had the camera in the car!

Wound the window down and started shooting. When he looked away i made mouse sounds ( ) and he looked straight at me...

...a Little Owl.

Nice! Not sure my knees would last that long, though!

Very nice shots! Now you know how to get good shots of a squirrel.....wind down your window and make sounds like a nut

My missus would argue that every sound I make is the sound of a nut! Ah, well!

Cheers

LoL, I like this thread, beautiful owl and funny lines . Great shot of the owl, and my wife feels the same thing about the sound that I make too!!
