Observation details

I watched as the owl attempted a dozen times to catch a squirrel and missed every time. Squirrels are just too nimble. Here it is looking at a squirrel high up a tree. The owl gave out one hoot. I thought it may have spotted the second owl but I'm speculating here. Eventually the owl gave up on the squirrels and flew over the barn and disappeared into the night. Photographed with an R6 MK2 and 200 2.8L II lens handheld at ISO 40,000.
