Pair of Short Eared Owls in flight.
Damn. I wish there was a word that combined both the words "Arial" and "acrobatics". It's a shame the world will never get to experience this.

For owls that are superb.

If you find an injured owl:
Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.
Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.
Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.
If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.

The Hendersons will all be there, Late of Pablo Fanques’ Fair - What A Scene!
Mr Kite would be a pretty good name for an owl actually!
Sorry to pedant, isn't it aerial? Arial reminds me of the Little Mermaid haha. And is also a font now that I looked it up.
But the photo itself is great. Like catching ballet in flight.
These owls are clearly sans serif.
You are correct though! ☺️
Lol. You should do an owl list and say which species would be which font.
Is this not digitally altered beyond regular post-processing? This is a single photo? I will actually die of envy. This photo is ridiculous.
As far as I can tell, this is legit. Searching his name shows him as an action photographer turned wildlife photographer, with a good number of other pics tagged with his name.
This one of 2 Shorties 1 Vole is also very impressive and I saw it on a few sites that all attribute it to him.
That's even worse. I could devote every waking moment to photography and still not catch something like that. Just incredible shots, I am in awe.
We never know what life will bring us. It may not be double owls, but you have just as much chance to capture something great as anyone else!
