One of my favorite owls from the winter season of 2021, Thumper was always a willing model.

Rainy day and luckily Thumper finally took off from this new spot.

Don't think he caught anything in this dramatic attack (at the ground) but it looked good.

He landed here on the ground (in a parking lot) just seconds after I pulled in. Curious about something, luckily, he allowed me to get a dozen images of him before he took off.

As the Dive Bomber came down closer to his target, the afternoon sunlight lit him up in such special light, I was wowed!
