Incoming dart - A Little owl coming straight down the barrel. They have this bouncing wave like flight pattern like a woodpecker. It a few flaps then glide with the wings tucked but gravity brings them down and then they flap again. This is when they tuck their wings and cut through the air.

Unless you have seen them on the field you cannot appreciate their size. They are tiny for an owl and capturing them in flight is not easy especially when they are coming towards you like that.

But now due to the way mirrorless cameras Autofocus works it has made it much easier to track them. It is probably their eyes as well that helps the subject detection pick them out more easily. Better hit rate on these shots than we had with DSLRS.

          It was hard to be motivated today, but I’ve been told a few times I gave people the smile they needed on a bad day. I wish I could do more for people, but for this moment, this is what I have and know how to do. I know it doesn’t fix anything that’s wrong right now, but highlighting there is still beauty in the natural world is something that can still give us a spark of joy. We can’t always count on our fellow humans, but nature will endure long past us in some shape or form.
