These are the original pair of Burrowing Owl I first observed 28 FEB 2010. They are seen
here mating as I had observed during my first sighting of them. The event has lasted only about
five seconds and has occurred between 12 and 15 minutes after sunset.

I am afraid this doesn't really work for me as I can't really tell what is going on.

[arash_hazeghi]

I agree with Ofer, not sure what the subject is.

[Jeroen Wijnands]

I apprieciate the attempt to show a more artistic view but I must chime in, this isn't working for me either.

[John Chardine]

There's a simple solution- Out of the Box forum.
