No, I Don't Plan to Share

My friend, Vickey, has seen owls in an area near a campground on the east side of the island. We met up in hopes of photographing them and couldn't have been happier with the result. While photographing one in a tree, I didn't notice this one land behind me with his squirrel prey. Vickey was behind me quietly photographing it knowing she couldn't get my attention without scaring it. Then, it suddenly flew up with the prey and came around me, landing right in front of me. He stayed about a minute, staring at me as I photographed as quickly as I could. It was an incredible experience!
Thank you for your lovely ways of thinking about the lonely moon. It was definitely a peaceful night!
A fabulous capture, Taffy. A bit of luck involved too!

@louannwarren Thanks! A lot more than 'a bit' of luck! We saw them almost as soon as we got to the clearing -- we'd actually planned 4 different attempts over the next week, and then saw them within about 10 minutes!

What an incredible experience - perhaps he was showing off for you? Love the terrific details you caught quite quickly.

Oh Taffy, I am ever so jealous. What a treat and fabulous capture lucky or not!
July 26th, 2020  
Wow, that would be so exciting. I find them up in the trees, but have never seen one down like that with it's prey. Glad it circled in front of you, so you could get the shots.

Must have wanted proof of its hunting abilities.
July 26th, 2020  
Exciting! A little dreadful, too...
July 26th, 2020  
Wow! I’d love to see an Owl someday... in nature...outside of a bird sanctuary which is the only place I’ve ever seen one. The eyes are amazing.

Great capture, at the right time at the right place

Rabbit?

Looks like he’s trying to hide his dinner from you seeing it

How fantastic come so close, great capture.

WOW what an amazing thing to happen and you were ready .
July 28th, 2020  
Awesome shot- I can hear the question, "Whooo do you think you are disrupting my dinner this way??" I know the feeling. I once captured a hawk that had taken out one of the squirrels from the neighbor's driveway and landed on their shed. I really was a "circle of life" kind of moment. One animal's death to perpetuate the life of the other. Superb shot!
July 28th, 2020  
Wow and wow..once in a lifetime..a big instant fav
