Denali--You better buy a lotto ticket. Your luck seems to be pretty good right now. Talk about opportunity----keep that camera handy. Sweet photos

If you don't mind sharing. Where was the burrowing owl?

The posturing, chasing and preparation for a rooster fight often covers several hundred yards and rarely on a repeat site.  Tough to set up a blind to catch the action.  A very good long lens, stealth and fast feet would give a better chance.

Great pics. denali. I've been lucky enough to see roosters fight a couple times on our property outside of pullman. Pretty neat!

Thanks everyone

 
Quadrafire  - pics are on a farm 2-3 mi N of Pasco, private property so I don’t feel comfortable being more specific.
h2ofowler - illegal cock fights in Pasco??? :chuckle: :chuckle:

  Couple of years ago I was driving down an improved farm road about 30-35 mph  and these two rosters were in the middle of the road in a knock down- drag out fight so I slowed down,,,slowed down some more? Thinking they would run or fly off, well they didn’t and I came to a complete stop 20-30 yds from them and sat there and watched them…. Of course no camera but a memorable experience.

Thats awesome Denali.  I watched two chucks go at it today but didn't have a camera.  I never do when something like that happens.  Great captures.
