I saw my first great horned owl at the Desert Museum in Tucson. Very exciting to see it take off. I wish I could claim I purposely composed it this way, but really, I cut off the top of its wings so am rather frustrated. I was relieved that at least its face was clear!
My favorite image of the day is in color, so it's in my extras album: http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2023-02-07
You've got to move so quick to catch them in flight, it's hard to always get the best shot. But this one is still a great capture, especially with the eyes.
