We had a great time with a few new Burrowing Owls early this season. They were transplanted to this location a few months earlier and this was the most outgoing male. The Burrowing owls in my area always hunt those big green Japanese beetles during the fall. Its a lot of fun trying to anticipate the take off and capture them in action.
Here I caught this adult male just as he took off after a flying beetle behind my truck. I really like the well lit eyes on this guy and the little puff of dust from the feet is another feature I like in this image. Hope you like it too.

Thanks as always for looking and for your input. I appreciate it
