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

Post by: nwwanderer on April 13, 2012, 07:23:29 AM: 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.

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.

Post by: boneaddict on April 13, 2012, 08:50:22 PM: 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.

Post by: C-Money on April 14, 2012, 08:40:27 PM: Great pics! We had a Rooster pheasent around our place all day today. I was watching for a rival to fly in and have a cock fight. They are sure noisey right now!
