  1. What a find! Posted 2 years ago
    1. I had an excellent guide there, which makes it all possible. Posted 2 years ago
  2. Cracking shot! Posted 2 years ago
    1. I was lucky I had something relatively sharp. This was when I was lugging around a 7D with a tripod for a month in Australia, and most of my shots were pretty unusable. I need to go back and do it properly now. Posted 2 years ago
      1. I'll tag along! I have a single owl pic from Australia, and it's a terribly subpar Barking owl shot. Posted 2 years ago
        1. We had plans to go look for Powerful owl in the Sydney Botanical Garden, but I got rear ended on the highway driving into Sydney and so I had to spend the day getting my rental car replaced. Posted 2 years ago
          1. Noooo talk about bad luck! Posted 2 years ago
            1. Well, it just reinforces the rule about avoiding people! Posted 2 years ago

The eastern grass owl, also known as Chinese grass owl or Australian grass owl, is a species of owl in the family Tytonidae. They feed predominantly on small rodents. Though some authorities consider this owl to be conspecific with the African grass owl, "T. capensis", other consider it to be a valid species.
