Amazing high definition, slo-mo photography.
This owl in flight is one of nature's engineering masterpieces.
Eagle Owl (6' wing spread) coming in right at the camera.
Hypnotic little piece of film.
The last two or three seconds are amazing, watching the feathers ruffle and the wings swell. Interesting to watch the corrections in the flight path as the bird comes in.

WOW, I think if you were some poor rabbit and you saw that coming down on you... you'd die of shock ... fantastic slow mo
It amazing how silent they are also. A friend of mine was out taking a whiz at night when one dove silently over his head after something behind him ... I think he lost control.
All those fluffy feathers at the leading edge & fringe at the trailing edge silence them
