Caught this beauty right outside the Albright Visitor Center in Yellowstone shortly before dark. We were really fortunate to see so much wildlife on our trip...bears, birds, bison, moose, fox, coyotes and more.
Excellent photograph. He's looking pretty relaxed here, I think? it's the first time I've seen an owl looking sort of laid back. His eyes are softened, not that normal piercing stare, and his feathers all fluffed out. Super cool image.
