Nothing but feathers,at six frames per second.

Wish I had the skill and equipment to catch these type of action shots with better quality.
This was way after sunset with 1200 ISO and the shutter speed cranked way up.

There is a pair of owls that have lived in some trees at my house for years. I have a squirrel problem at my house and have feed them squirrels that I have live trapped. So they have become my friends over time.

I found this dove with a broken wing so I thought I would give him to the owls.

Even if you know what is going to happen it is very hard to actually catch on the camera.

I read an article about National Geographic photos and they claimed that most of the predatory shots you see are manipulated like this either by bait or herding the pry.

With these new DLSR cameras we have now days an average joe can do things that a real pro would have had a hard time doing 20 years ago.
