Chris Clem Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Mojave Desert. This Great Horned Owl has some serious camouflage sitting in this Joshua Tree. This photo was taken today at dusk.

Also, how'd you rate this one? https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/348716571 I don't see anything that suggests this Mallard has domestic genes. Looks like a male just starting its molt into eclipse plumage. Their iridescent heads can appear blue sometimes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Considering that I took these photo in a kayak, in moving water, I think they turned out pretty good. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/348897141 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/348897181 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/348897241 Edited June 19, 2021 by Kevin 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at any of my checklists you'll see my photos taken on 100000 iso and 1/200 shutter speed just to get a really dark image 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulK Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Now this is a terrible cellphone picture so it's not really appropriate for this topic, but it's a terrible cellphone picture of a crow that is anting. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Clem Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Mojave Desert. Another shot of a Great Horned Owl at Sunrise this morning. This was taken just before I shot the video I posted earlier today. (see videos) ...... He politely stayed put while I was setting up my tripod in plain site about 75ft away. This was the only photo I took before switching to video. Thought for sure he would fly away!.....lucky I guess.  14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The desert colors in the background bring out the same coloration in the owls feathers. The Owl's sleepy eye lids also add to the feeling of this photo. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
