Pygmy Owl

Last week I bought old army skies from army surplus shop. I cleaned and painted them, fixed the bottom and put new bindings. Got it ready yesterday. Today after work I went to our place by the lake to prove them and also to take some pictures of birds. When I got there I noticed first that it was totally quiet. No birds anywhere. Then I saw this little fellow keeping watch over the feeding station. Was happy to take some pictures of him and went to try the skies. They worked perfectly. When I got back I saw the owl catching a mouse. Great!
