Northern Saw-whet Owl

[Glenn Bartley]

I had a very neat opportunity the other night to photograph this cute little owl. I havent seen too many shots of this species at night so I thought I'd post this one.

All the best!

Glenn,

As much as I love your hummer shots, I love this one more! Excellent capture of a bird that can be hard to find (is it wild?). The branch above him and the black BG frame him perfectly. I'm curious, however, why you used multiple flashes for the stationary bird and how you set them up. The eyes came out great, so I assume your flashes were off to the side.
