It was feeding time at Warrawong Sanctuary, in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. I captured this owl swallowing his meal, a (dead) mouse. He looks like he is really enjoying it!

I think this is the first time I was able to get as close as I was to this beautiful fellow. I was so pleased when I uploaded it onto the computer and saw the results. Believe me this has had selective colouring on the shot it is just that the owl is mainly white. The original shot was taken in The Cornish Birds of Prey Centre & Animal Park in Cornwall. I have been playing about with it again; a crop here to focus tight on his beautiful eyes and selective colouring there and this is the result which I love. I hope you like it and thank you for viewing. The selective colouring was made in Photoshop Elements 6 NIKON D60 DSLR / F-stop f/9 / Exposure time 1/500 sec / ISO speed 100 / Aperture priority / Focal length 190 mm on a 70 – 300 mm Nikon lens All the materials contained may not be reproduced, copied, edited, published, transmitted or uploaded in any way without my permission.

Featured in 100% and in All Animals Great and Small, RB Homepage Oct. 24, 2009). This is a rare bird, a beautiful bird. I am almost in tears as I write this. She is alone, a long distance from others of her kind. She is the first recorded visitor of her kind to Vancouver Island, and I had the good fortune to see her and to capture this image.

Watercolor and pencil on illustration board, / 10×8 / 2009 Model: Adhara Batul One of the Greek myths I adore the most, for its incredible strength, poetry and significance, is the myth of Persephone. In Greek mythology, Persephone was the goddess of the underworld and of the Spring growth. Daughter of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, she was abducted by Hades and taken to the land of the dead. By a determination of the Fates, she was forced to stay for two seasons each year after eating pomegranates seeds, thus becoming consort of Hades and queen of the underworld. This time I opted by depicting her sorrow and solitude after having the seeds, although there’s quite an air of resignation with her destiny.

Smith Environmental Education Center near Olney, Maryland. It’s my understanding that hurt or sick wildlife is treated there and, whenever possible, released back to the wild. I’ve spent many an hour here chaperoning my son’s field trips and always enjoyed the visit very much. Image taken with the Nikon D40x and the 18-200mm vr Nikon/Nikkor lens.

Featured in Only Owls December 9, 2009. / Featured in ! 100% ! October 9, 2009. I was lucky enough to find this beautiful Barn Owl at the Lathrop E. Smith Environmental Education Center near Olney, Maryland. Wounded and sick birds and creatures are mended and kept healthy here by the people at the Center. Once he’s healed, he’ll be set free. Image taken with the Nikon D40x and the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens at 1/13 shutter and f/5.6 aperture. Exposure 0.00, iso 400, 200mm focal length. Textures added in Photoshop. A bit of hand-”painting” in Corel Painter 11 and Photoshop to highlight and emphasize certain details. Range and Habitat / Barn Owl: Occurs on every continent except Antarctica. Found in a vast range of habitats, from rural to urban, but prefers warm climates with mild winters. Nearby open grassland is essential; rarely found in deep forests or mountains. / INTERESTING FACTS / Barn Owls are encouraged to nest in certain agricultural areas because of their ability to control rodents better than traps or poisons and at no cost. Research indicates that they eat twice as much prey for their weight as other owls. / Their uncanny sense of hearing is aided by their asymmetrically placed ears. They are able to use this sense to capture prey hidden by snow or vegetation. Their ears have feathered flaps that can close to provide protection if they encounter sound that is too intense. / They typically approach their prey from a low flight path. Grasping the prey with their feet, they use their beak to bite through the back of the skull. Prey is swallowed whole. They are also known to cache food when nesting. / A group of owls has many collective nouns, including a “bazaar”, “glaring”, “parliament”, “stooping”, and “wisdom” of owls. / / the above info thanks to What Bird.com Texture courtesy of Princess of Shadows on Deviant Art
