I wish I could fly! This owl can – and is very proud, as we can notice. Just saying “Hello” and “Good bye” in the same second!

I’ve been very amused, when I discovered a geese gang with national pride flying their patrol along some US flags on the inauguration day of president Obama in Washington, click on the link:

I have an owl that visits sometimes, and calls from the growve of trees behind my house. Sometimes I go out onto the deck and call back. Wonderful post, Frizz!

my cat indeed is very jealous, when she sees an owl. Recently I discovered an youtube video featuring a cat and an owl playing with each other. That was scheduled for today’s post, but the video was set private in the meantime by his owner …

every time when I see an owl, I think: my cat is staring at me; and every time when I see my cat, I think: something like an owl is staring at me; imagine, how surprised I’ve been, when I saw a cat and owl playing together friendly!

I’ve only seen an owl once and it was sleeping. This is a rare occasion to see one flight live.

I love the look of this flying owl to the photographer.
Owls are common rare to see because they are night active and sleeping on the day . By this way i myself become more and more an owl and love to work in the night and to have a hat of sleep from time to time on the day.
Here is my shot to this theme:

I’ve not seen many wildlife “face” photos of owls in flight–still frames–such as in your photo. I mean this is an amazing still photo capture. I’m impressed. Great job!

That’s a handsome owl you got there!!
well I woke up one morning to find crows hovering and crowing to find that a medium size owl was in the middle of the crow gang. Poor thing flew here and there and disappeared after some distance. I wonder what the crows will do to it?
But your photos are a nice click!
Thank You so much passing by and following my blog.
You made my day 🙂

Great shots! (including the comments section!) Cats and owls do look a lot alike 😀
I’m not sure I have anything worthy of sharing; no owls or air shows, but I do have a Turkey Vulture flying.
we came across a large flock of them in a field near sundown and alas I did not have my tripod so very few shots were worth anything 😦
