Great work here Glenn. I know how tough getting these shots can be! I have proof of the challenge in a shot I got of an Elf Owl in Madera Canyon. I would never post it here as they would kick me off this forum!!

Thanks for sharing this

Love those eyes. The flash is perfect.

Agreed, very nice flash technique.

Could you elaborate on the flash settings? Did you use an extender? Was it totally dark?
