Nice score - good level of detail for a bird in flight shot. I have never even seen an owl since moving to the NW so color me a bit on the jealous side.

Awesome work Roger! Great job catching it flying!

Was it flying in an area for a while, or was this from swooping from a perch? Great timing on your part.

Great Catch Roger. I have never been able to shoot one in flight yet.

Jim, it had been perched downwind from me, knowing that they like to hunt into the wind I sat low next to a rock until it finally flew, I was lucky it came close to where I had positioned myself.

Your hunting of the owl as it was hunting certainly paid off. Gorgeous shot Roger.
