    Default Burrowing Owl

    Image was captured this past march on Marco Island, Fl. These small characters do a tremendous amount of standing at attention atop the sandy mounds above their homes. This one decided to at least give one leg a well deserved stretch. C&C welcome.

    D500, Sigma 150-600mm C @ 600mm, 1/1000s, f 8.0, ISO 500, Gitzo, Wimberley Gimbal head.

    Yes, a rare break from his usual static pose. Nicely captured.

    Stretch and foot are nice, but there is too much foliage in front and behind for me. Lack of eye contact is an issue as well.
