Barred Owl With Blue Crab

This barred owl let us get within eight feet of him. He is eating a blue crab that Gayle saw him catch and was more intent on it then us. That speck of white on his beak is crab meat. See Gayle's shot at http://www.pbase.com/image/55095874


other sizes: small medium large original auto

the combination of yours and Gayle's shots . . incredible timing!

Great image Brealand, excellent detail on the feathers and those eyes are tack sharp...

I suppose he's worried that you're after his crab.

Great shot Breland. Those eyes are amazingly sharp and intense. I had no idea that owls ate crab.

You guys did good.
I like the bg separation, and that we get to see the feeding process. Great owl pic Bre!
(And who hasn't gotten a little morsel on their nose when eating yummy crab, lol!)

Wonderfully clear image. It's not often you see the eyes as clear as this in owl photos.

Just looked at Gayle's photo. He's definitely watching y'all. Owls have such cute faces, it's hard to believe they're predators. Great capture.

Wow! I didn't know owls ate crabs.
Steven Jusczyk21-Jan-2006 08:31

Great. His eyes mean business concerning that crab.

Very nice shot. like the coloring here and the reflections in his eyes.
Monte Stevens21-Jan-2006 04:18
Nice shot and you did it with the 18-200mm lens. I like the catch light in the eyes.
