Good morning guys. Nice capture on the burrowing owl. Reminds me of the annual trips we used to have with the Georgia Nature Photographers Association down to central Florida. During the 2018 trip we ventured a bit farther south to see some burrowing owls - photo below. We were able to get relatively close enough so that I got some close-ups with my 600mm lens. Interesting little birds.
Sadly, the leader of these trips could no longer manage them after the 2022 trip. Actually, I had to take over leading the trip after the first night as he became ill and asked my to take over and finish the trip. I didn't really want to, but I didn't want the trip to be cancelled either since we had a nice little group of photographer. I probably could have continued the trips but chose not to. DW and I will still occasionally go back down on our own to visit. Sadly, the leader that I mentioned passed on a few months ago. He was a really nice guy and great photographer.
Peter, great photo of the Frogmouth. So many birds there that we in the states will never see.
