Magnificent. But just what the h-ll exactly was it about to sink its talons into, there? :shock:

I guess that's why owls appear so contented most of the time, lunch is pretty much a given. :lol:

I first saw this about 3 weeks ago and still marvel at the impressive footage. This is a big Eurasian species of owl and it's known to be a pretty tough bird.

Check out those talons! :shock:

Good stuff,
Joe

*I found another new one on the creek today. :D

:shock: That was sooo awesome. I kept pausing it really fast and did this stop timey thing which allowed me to really examine the wings and feathers etc. It was just amazing how the wings folded into themselves and how the owl changed its wings at just the right. Seriously , I could look at this stuff all day.

If you were to back the video camera up just a little bit more, you'd see this...
