Collision Course
Uploaded: July 25, 2007
I wish I could say this photo was captured in the wild but it was taken at a bird show at our zoo. I was selected from the crowd of people to come forward to take a picture of this owl as it came directly toward me. That in itself was pretty cool to feel the wind this owl created as it passed over the top of my head.
