I am in love with the Owl. Too bad her feet are tied up in most of the shots.

Thanks for the comments y'all
Her feet were on a rope, because it was here first time on the demo field. She is still in training. So she can get scared fast because all of the new stuff going on and the rope prevents her from flying away to far.
These were shot with my Sigma 70-300 4-5.6.

The head shot of the own is awesome and the shots of the birds in flight as just as good
