Hi Folks,

A bit different set of pictures. Here in Tucson we have the Arizona Sorona Desert Museum. A must see when in Tucson. Part of the museum is their Raptor Free flight program. Since we have connections to the Museum, we were taken behind the scenes of the Mews of the Raptors and the director, Dillon has a pet owl...a Eurasian Eagle Owl. Dillion was training this huge owl to land on other people's arm, not just Dillon so we ventured to the free flight cage to have a go with Clio, the owl. Here a few shots of this adventure for Margie and me...

Excuse the dirty nails.

9 years ago, we were in the middle of removing a dog pen at my wife's rental property and my stepson spotted this little guy.

I had never seen one here in Georgia before or since.

Today, while driving our Gator through the woods, a huge owl attacked! Fortunately, the Gator is a bit bigger than the owl.

Snapped this a few weeks back. This is my buddy coming off track. The car is FAST and belongs in a museum. I'm going to have it printed on canvas for him.

Edit: Nikon Z6 w/ Tamron 70-200 F2.8. I don't remember what settings I shot it at.
