Owl Eyes by PhotographyByHenrik

This little owl almost came within my minimum focusing distance which made the DoF extremely shallow. Fortunately I got the eyes sharp. And yes, it's a completely wild owl. No bait or anything else was used to encourage it to come this close. It simply did not see me as a threat (I used my vehicle as a blind). via 500px

The Opera Singer by DebbieTubridy

This burrowing owl sure looks like he's belting out an opera, but in reality it's preparing to expel a pellet of undigestible matter, which is common in owls. Quite interesting to check out the contents as well. :-) BLOG WEBSITE via 500px

Down... by bobobird

A very close encounter with a red-tailed hawk. He was in a tree not far away but I never expected him to drop so close to my position. Look at those squirrel killers - not something anyone would want to tangle with. :) Apart from a very minor compositional crop, this is almost full frame. via 500px
