Looking for Love(bugs) ~ I was sitting quite a ways back from the Burrowing Owl burrow with my 500mm watching one of the owls getting active looking for food and hoping to get a flight capture. All of a sudden the hungry owl flies right at me, and plops down about 10 feet from my position. I know the distance because it was near the fringe of my minimum focal distance as I had to step backwards. It caught the pair of Lovebugs and then looked right up at me as I took the picture. The moment caught us both by surprise!

A kiss of early morning light falls on this male, golden-fronted woodpecker (Melanerpes aurifronshovering) over a perch of wildflowers in southern Texas.
As was the case with the cardinal shot I posted the other day, I am stationed in a blind with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 X set to manual focus and I had the camera mounted to a Robus RC-5570 Tripod with Uniqball UBH 45XC Ball Head with X-Cross Clamp. I used the Olympus RM-CB2 Release Cable to trigger the shot.
