Great Job again EJ. I am jealous of you..LOL You get such great opportunities to see nature at its best, and you do a great job of capturing that.

Man...I thought the owl had lost his footing and was conking his chin on the tree limb. I'm relieved to know that wasn't the case. Another great shot, EJ.

Aha, now we see him in action. You really wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that toolkit would you! You just know that grasshopper is doomed from the look in his eye.

You are lucky he wasn't after a frog. Good action shot. Guess now we know there are day owls also. Love the look of the owl.
Excellent Frogz.

fascinating: I've never seen this kind of owl in profile, the beak looks almost un-owley. And I love its expression.
