This was taken from the past weekend, not from the same series I have posted last week. Thanks to a fellow photographer's comment which gave me the idea. With the help from my friend, we were able to capture this shot. Note, this time, it is a setup.

Incredible! I'm not lucky enough to have burrowing owls near me... can you find them day hunting regularly?

This was the second I took pics of them. I am not sure.
This was a setup.

All except the Bird and grass of course.

Nice shots. However, I am not a fan of baiting wild birds.
