OK, this is my last owl post. The male had just delivered the grasshopper to the female. I was a little late on the trigger to capture a very good image of him. But, did manage to get this one.

Canon 7D
Canon 70-200 2.8 IS II
1/250 f5.6
Canon Speedlite 580 EX II -1
ISO 160

C&C always welcome.

Nice looking grasshopper, LeRoy, and a cute owl too.

LeRoy,
Well done on the framing and action of this image. The expression of the owl reminds me of a child get'n caught in the cookie jar.

Like the shot. It tells a story and is a nice capture.

LeRoy,

Great detail in this, although it does not really bother me, I just wonder if eliminating the double catch light would be worthwhile

I really appreciate the night work you've been posting LeRoy.
The personal satisfaction you get from documenting the little ones behavior must be great..
A must see large, I especially like the little beak doin' the head-crunch thing..
I can almost hear it 'crunchin' from here

Very well done
