Hi,
Use an omnibounce on your flash it will almost completly eliminate the red-eyes.

Greetings,
Frank

Ya, but wouldn't the loss off 2 1/2 stops make this effectively useless for longer shots? That owl was.... 40 feet away? Maybe more.

What does an omni-bounce actually do? I read some comments about it, but it wasn't clear to me what it did. One said that it evenly distributed the flash across the picture.

hmmm.....was that high in a tree? were you on a ladder, tree stand?

Yes, it was that high in a tree. I was standing on the ground. To improve the angle on the bird, I stood back aways. That helped a lot, but it meant I was rather far away. Bird photography is hard... one of the many reasons is because of your lack of control over the subject. You take what you can get.
