Avian Image of the Week Austin Thomas for week ending 6/24/2011 -Marching Little owl

[Roman Kurywczak]

Congratulations Austin Thomas for your image "Marching Litlle Owl" being chosen as the Avain Image of the Week for the week ending 6/24/2011!!!

Here is one from my current project on Little Owls.

This image was taken early one morning to ensure that I had some light in the eyes of the Owl. Having visited this site frequently at dawn and dusk it soon became apparent that the mornings offered the best light.

I have several more images from this project HERE for those that are interested.

Canon 1DMK4, 800mm, f9, 1/1000 ISO 800

C&C welcome.

Cheers

Austin
