Wonderful capture!
So interesting…. I have picked apart the white-ish ‘old’ pellets found on the ground, amazing to see it happen.
Phenomenal series. Did you have an idea what was coming? Wowza!
I understand owl behavior well enough that I knew what was going to happen!
Wow, what an amazing sequence! Great job!
