Owl vs Raccoon ~ who wins the fight?

Always bring your camera if you go walking in the woods.

You never know what might happen. I got very lucky here and I may never get a sequence of shots like these again.

The full story and a sequence of action shots showing the epic battle can be found on my personal website. See momma barred owl defend her nest:

She wasn't taking any guff from a raccoon, that's for sure!

Nice capture @keithboon I'll have to check out your website.
Also I've come to the conclusion that one should Always bring the camera. No matter where you are. I've been going to the store and wished I had it. You never know when a once in a lifetime shot happens by.

Thank you! Yes, I actually had to downsize to a smaller camera so that I can always have it with me when I go out.

Wow! What fantastic luck and great shots! Love pic #4 in flight. I had my money on the owl from the start, they are my favorite. Interesting to see how it turned out!
