Really nice work Richard. Love the flight shot and the feeding shot is my other favorite of the set.

Great set of images. My favorite is also the feeding shot.

What a wonderful set of images! I like 'em all equally. How were you able to get so close?

These are really, really great shots! You are so fortunate to have such good access to these guys! I don't think I've ever seen a flight shot of a Burrowing Owl before; flight shots are difficult enough because of the lack of opportunity to get them but you nailed this one. Big congrats!

Excellent series, Richard. All are equally good.

You had a great opportunity. I like the third (although the WB seems a little cool) and the first images.
