Aaaa, not sure but I think this burrowing owl was assembled backwards.

    Nice, It's pretty interesting because the head and talons are one way and the whole torso faces the opposite direction eek7.gif. Must have twisted its legs around a bit.. Anyway, great shot!

    Thanks for the comments.

    It does appear as though the talons are backward but as you can see in the shot below, that's the normal configuration.

    Nay! I say this is the result of bad teletransportation. The technology just isn't quite there yet. :D

    Nice shot, but so funny seeing the owl in this manner, it still has me laughing at this shot. Nice capture.
