I had two shots when it went away to eat.

Again I was in luck, the owl took off in my direction before it took a left turn away, and I had the sun on my back so I got two great, yet very different shots, with the owl airborne flying away with the prey.

Truly some wonderful days with a great outcome. Hope you have enjoyed the story and the images, and I strongly encourage others to experience the wildlife.
