This female barred owl had a territory near Connor’s home in Burnaby, British Columbia.
He watched her flight paths for some time. Setting up his camera near one of her favourite perches, linked to a remote and three off-camera flashes, diffused and on low settings, he put a dead mouse above the camera and waited for the swoop. ‘She grabbed the mouse and began calling to her mate. One of the most exciting calls in the wild.’
