I let my dog out last night about 11:30 (a jack russel) she was real ancy figure she spelled a rat threw the door so I opened the door and she bolts to the fence. I see something in the shadows move up the fence and figure its a possum eating the apples that had fallen but it kept going up then it spread its wing I was about 3 feet away it was crazy. Landed in the tree right on the otherside of the fence, I could see the silhouette. SO I rushed in grabbed my camera and flash and I gotta say the 400 f4 was almost to long this is uncropped and shot at 4000 ISO with flash and manual focus. Thought it might be a barn owl but was still happy with the find, enjoy I did.

Here's one more didn't have a lot of time to get that many and not all were that great as it was pretty much pitch black.
