20130509 974 SERIES - Great Horned Owls.jpg

Ottawa West

Four images entitled: "ONE BIG LEAP!"

Top image: Big Sister is studying the situation again with Little Brother looking on. She made it yesterday, but is still not quite sure of herself.

Getting ready to jump with one foot up.

And jump she did with wings outstretched as air brakes and for balance.

Looking pretty smug, Big sister poses for the camera whilst Little Brother snubs his nose/beak at her, thinking " Show Off!"

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 500mm f/4D IF-ED AF-S II
1/1000s f/8.0 at 700.0mm iso320 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
