I saw this owl catching crawfish in a ditch on the opposite side of the trail as I slowly idled my Jeep through the muddy ruts in Louisiana's Maurepas Swamp. I was pretty sure the owl would fly away if I tried to get out or turn around to shoot through my open window so I improvised. I knelt on the center console and shot through the sunroof while playing a barred owl call on my IPhone to make the bird look at me.
