Elf Owl

The Elf Owl that lives on my property is back. This time I was able to see which hole in the Giant Saguaro it calls home. It is very tough to get a good shot of as it's constantly flying around but thanks to my 6D and it's ability to focus in complete darkness, I was able to get it as it poked it's head out of it's nest. Had to use off camera flash for this. Hopefully over the next few days I can set up a feeding station with crickets and a perch to get some sunset shots of it.

That is a neat shot! Looks like there may be a few feathers caught on some of those sharp points!

May be rodent fur.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Never make the same mistake twice, there are so many new ones, try a different one each day
