the morepork owl

funny name, yeah? we filmed this for my friend's documentary, and I snapped a few images while we were there. We gelled thelights red, way past color correction, because these little guys' eyes are so incredibly sensitive if you flash them they go blind for months and tears stream from their eyes because they're in so much pain. d300 @ ISO 1600, f/5.6 200mm.

That is a funny name and interesting info regarding their light sensitivity. Thanks for sharing pic and info.
