From the 2nd

Barred snoozing, as usual.

Above my head there was a swoosh, lots of red. It happened so fast that my brain didn't compute who was up there. One cooper's with lunch. One less dove in the park. The hawk was there for only seconds, then off it flew with catch.

Back to saw whet owl. Incredibly beautiful, and so tiny.

What you looking at?

There will be more saw whet images.  I may never see this honey again.  This was a managed shoot. Watch for maybe two mintes, walk away, return for another two minutes, walk away, etc. Owl safety first. No flash!
