It is good to be back, it is great to be out there holding a camera once again. After 10 months break, I went out this evening to capture some images of the nesting Eastern Screen Owls. I went out without any expectations, just hoping to get some decent images and some practice. It was just like riding a bike once again.
During this delivery, the male Eastern Screech Owl flew in out of nowhere, different than the usual routine where he would perch for several seconds before delivering the catch into the cavity. The subsequent frames showed that it was carrying a caterpillar. In another week, the female will join in hunting and taking turn to feed the owlets. I hope to be able to be back again when the babies are old enough to be peeking through the nest cavity.
Shot taken with 7D Mark2, with its crop factor, I was able to shoot with a shorter zoom lens. The AF system continues to impress me with its ability to focus in the low light condition.
