Marshall,
Your final photos are of a bird with its pupils wide open. I would think
it would have been blinded by your flash which could explain why it didn't
immediately fly away or seem concerned about you continuing to take photos
of it.
I don't believe folks should take flash photos of owls nor try to locate
them in the darkness with flashlights. Birders need to be more aware of
what they are subjecting these animals to when they do these kinds of things.
Sincerely,
Marlene

In real life, the shortest distance between two points is never a straight
line, so you might as well enjoy the journey !!
