    Here is a Little Owl "marching", keeping guard of his territory.

    Taken early one morning to ensure that the eye had some direct light.

    Canon 1DMK4, 400mm, f3.5, 1/2500, ISO200

    C&C welcome.

    Cheers

    Austin:

    Very funny. Only needs his wings swinging back and forth to mimic the arms of a marching soldier.

    Sharp, well exposed, nice background, good timing.

    Low angle helps downplay the impact of the surface he is pacing (concrete?)

    Cheers

    Marching motion very well captured. Love it!!!!!!!!!!
    This bird (Owl) started my interest in bird watching back in Hungary.

    Very nice. I like the hooded eyes, BG, & the grass tuft growing out of the RR tie. TFS

    I love that you captured him in mid stride, the owl is sharp and the BG is great, just can't figure out what he is walking on.

    What a cool image Austin.
    Love the pose, the low angle, bg and that intent look. Fantastic work.
