Blind Interruption

Two days ago I went back out to the blind just before lunch because we still had favorable light and when I did this fledgling Barn Owl flushed and flew to the line of firs at the back of our property and stayed there until dark.  We have a Barn Owl box facing the copse where the blind is and when they fledge, they often choose it as a daytime roost.  This year the parents were very circumspect and we had about given up on having a brood.  It turned out that this one's sibling was also in the the copse trees so I stayed out of the area yesterday.  It looks like they've dispersed as I checked it today and didn't find any owls.  Usually, once all the young have fledged, the parents take them elsewhere to teach them how to hunt.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600 mm, tripod and ballhead.  f/10, 1/800, iso 640, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1 EV.  Processed in LR & PS CC.  Cropped from a horizontal original to a 7.7 MP 4x5 vertical.  I removed one very distracting branch to the right of the bird.

Your comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,
