1. the owl swallow the mouse whole I was just wondering why don't they tear it apart like other birds of prey? Can owls beak tear their meal apart?

4. is this what you see right before you die.
5. Beautiful but her eyes are scary as hell.
6. Oh and by the way, DEFTONES!!!!!!!!!!!!
7. The music for the second shot should have been the theme from Jaws. This is what it looks like from the eyes of a small animal during it's final seconds of being alive before it's intestines are ripped out of it's semi-conscious body.
8. Yes, a Beautiful Angelic Creature of the Night ... until she flies off with your Yorkshire Terrier!

15. these beautiful owls and cool too
16. like to hear how silent..r.ather than the ambient hippie guilt music.
17. Owls are so beautiful.
18. Incredible video. I am definitely going to use this as a drawing reference any time I need to draw wings in motion. Heck, even for a reference on feather details and how they actually appear when they're in a wing! There were absolutely some stunning shots of that in there, thank you so much for using a camera that could capture such details. Drawing singular feathers is one thing, but drawing a full wing and knowing where to put the details so it doesn't look weird and over-rendered is a completely different ball game.
19. Never fool around, with the bird of Lilith.
20. This is the definition of an angel that has a mask with a beak on and bird legs for feet, and a tail.
    
    Beautiful.
