Great image of the Owl! I agree in almost every aspect. When I'm out and about all my bird pictures are taken in the wild. There has been no set-up at all. No calling in, no food thrown or bait set down, none of that stuff. I don't believe in it and have a great deal of difficulty, rather obsessive against that type of behavior. However, I have to admit that at home do I take pictures for fun, or take pictures of interesting behavior around our bird feeders? Yes. When a Downy Woodpecker is feeding from a hummingbird feeder, I think that is an interesting shot. Have I tried for one of those? Yes. Have I been successful, NO! Do I record Purple Martin behavior around our PUMA pole and gourds? Yes. A lot of these pictures are for documentation and are not images for sale.
