    He is a great photographer. He gets the most out of his gear, something I try to emulate.

    This little hunter with her prize. The pattern on the back of her head resembles her eyes and beak, as a passive defense against potential predators, such as Cooper's or red-tailed hawks. I'm rooting for this little lady!

    Late to the game here, only read some of the posts as it is too much technical hair-splitting. A few (hopefully) relevant thoughts I'd like to share. Based on your emphasis on technical details, I think you should go FF. It is objectively going to give you more dynamic range, low light...

    I think the rusty colored bird might be the mama😊

    Their wings almost look insect-like. Beautiful patterns.

    Waiting for the dark. Shot at 1/40, braced against a fence. Silly me; I never thought to look inside a barn for a barn owl :p
