Jan 9th 8th day of my 365 challenge

:icondgander:

I headed down into the LaCrosse, WI. area after a snowy owl that had
been reported by a friend of mine.  Got lucky and found him about
where he had last been seen.  I got some ok shots , I was walking back
to my suv/hide and he came off the barn roof and landed 30 ft. behind
me and grabbed this field mouse.  All I could do was turn and shoot. I
had the 560mm lens set up for shooting from the suv, and never thought
he would ever come close enough to be too close for my setup..
Best laid plans etc.  Oh well,  this shot is my Jan 9th shot for the year
because its so unique.

I just spent over an hour going through your gallery. Time well spent indeed! Your captures are incredible and they inspire me to paint some wildlife I didn't think I'd ever be interested in painting. Do I have your permission to use any of your pics as references? I am a "hobby artist"
Thank you, Evelyn

I started my wildlife photography as reference for my own wildlife paintings. I gave up painting to really persue my photography. Just be respectful of my work and give credit if you are ever published. :) Have fun.

Glad you're ok.
yeah it's been that way out here also. Most of my birds are only active for the first 2 hours of daylight, then they hide in the cool trees. I've been shooting more bugs than birds recently.I have been enjoying the Macro world... camera's lighter and you don't have to walk very far in the heat.

I love your nature photos, especially the Eagles, Hawks and other birds.
