Interview with an Owl



Emin: How many hours of the day do you hoot?
Owl: Who?
Emin: Hey, I'm asking the questions here! 

And so it goes if you interview an owl. Emin Yogurtcuoglu is a Turkish wildlife photographer and serious birdwatcher. But even he was surprised when he had the opportunity to get up close and personal with an owl in Argentina. He called it the experience of a lifetime. It took a few days, but an owl couple didn't seem the least bit afraid of Emin nor his videographer. The relationship culminated in a personal interview with an owl. He tried various languages, but finally fell into speaking the owl's language. Who? The owl. His patience and gentleness were rewarded when he achieved the final image in this video.
