Boobook refers to another Ninox species, not Ninox Strenua.

Territorial Display
Sibley's Bird Behaviour book describes this as a territorial display. Nice shot Mike.

One of my favorites
Most bird photo critics will tell you when the head is turned away from the camera, it is not a good photo. I prefer this photo to the companion which is shot 'properly' from the side. I can't really explain it.

Blurred Background
This image has a artificially blurred background. If I had done the blurring, I would have blurred it even more.
