Thanks to all for the comments. I'll be putting all of the corrected images into a Flickr set so you can see the sequence. 1) Far away immature Snowy Owl on lamp post (lots of brown) 2) Shots of it as it flies away (actually more across in front of me and farther away) 3) Intercept by the mature owl I capture later & the tangles 4) Finding the other owl on the pole (flash captures). All of these were shot within about a 45 minute time span.
Interestingly, it was not the immature owl on the lamp post the day before... but I would wager it was the one I captured with the flash. There may be some territorial issues going on around here. The one we saw (that I may have captured on the partially shot roll of film in the 645) was several miles away to the SW side of town. In other Nebraska bird news... we have 1000 Sandhill Cranes wintering here (for the first time ever, that we know of). And an Elm Creek rural mail carrier captured images of a flock of Whooping Cranes (about 20 miles west of here). They are either wintering here also or are about two months early. I've never seen a whooper and would love to get photographic proof of having seen one of those too!
