I knew as I approached, slowly, that at some point the owl would take off and fly away. This is how I get some bird-in-flight shots, but it is tough. First, an owl waits until you look down for a split-second before they slightly take off. Second, they are very likely to fly away from you. Third, you have to look down as you approach in the desert because there are rattlesnakes out there too.
