Klaus great photo. I like #1, but they are both great. :toast:

Love the first one!
The bokeh looks a bit odd in both, especially the second image where it's somewhat distracting.

When you're done with them, can I burrow them? (Great shots, btw, but I agree with John's comment on the bokeh.)

Both are excellent - watch as the male gets bleached by the sun as spring progresses. Nice shots!

These are really cool. I especially like the first one, definitely a story-telling shot of why they are called burrowing owls.

That first one is dynamite! Definitely tells the story of how these guys live! By res, do you mean reservation or reservoir?
