They are the bookmarks in the chapters of our lives giving great significance to what we see.
I love when wildlife photographers are so good at their job the wildlife treats them as pare of the environment. That owl is just excited for a nice perch in the middle of a field.
I think a lot of these are ironically when there are a lot of people in the open.
The group that is always at Sax Zim Bog is typically gathered along the main highway and they wait for owls coming to scope out the clearing around the roadway.
Not being alone is somewhat a requirement, since if the person were alone, there wouldn’t be anyone to take the picture of them becoming a perch!
The owls just seem curious what all the hubub is about, not knowing everyone is there for them.
Marvelous!
Some people have all the luck
Some guys get all the breaks 🎶
Yes.
I wonder if that owl could see to the atomic level if it looked through that lens 🤯😄
Owl: Nice ginormous lens, you got there! Be a shame if . . wait . . Be a shame if some- urf - something were to . . . *errgh* . . Dangit why can’t owls poop on demand.
Photographer: *deadpans at camera*
I know I’ve shared one here before where the owl fell asleep in the end of the lens before. Who could shake that sweet thing out of there to take more photos???
“Give me a lollipop or I’ll bite you.”
I’m always surprised þat owls will approach humans like þis, even rarely.
Curiosity gets the best of us all now and then 😄
