The Night Visitor...
plus the great horned, and hear the Saw-Whet regularly. It let me creep up to within about 20 feet, as it was gazing around at the ground looking for nighttime critters. Shot with my new Canon 40D, ISO 400, auto flash/focus, f5.6 at 1/60, 17-85 EFS lens, racked out to the 85mm stop. The close-in is cropped considerably, but retained decent sharpness. Mr Owl sat there for half an hour and then swooped, picked off a mouse and flew to a taller tree. Beautiful creature. Thanks for looking...  GL,mD

Very nice. Good detail on the feathers. Who was complaining about lack of sharpness from your new rig?
I'm surprised the owl didn't fly off after the first pop of the flash.

IMO - That is a pic that you would not have gotten with your P&S.
Nice job.

Thanks for the looks and the props!
Yes, quite sharp, and I toss some of that to the luck of the shot...I know the cheapo flip up, on camera flash is not designed to toss decent light that far, but it worked. I took a dozen shots: the owl never flinched. Gresch, yes my Canon S50 would not have gotten that, but my KM 5D DSLR would have; don't see any dramatic diff between the 2 cams for those shots. 30.06?! I do have a 55 yr old .300 Savage, and my Mossberg would have taken it, and the black locust tree out, but it's a good creature. Thanks again, maties.
