Snoozing Barred Owl!

Just couldn't get this guy to open those eyes for nothing. Waited and waited, but he just never budged. Guess it had a really bad night last night.

The detail on those feathers is fabulous - is this the new lens? Really nice lighting on the shot, too.

Love how the beak seems held up by the jowls. Liking your lens? Harvey to carry?

[Diana]

Beautiful shot and wonderful detail, fav!

[haskar]

Well caught. Great details and colours.

I still haven't captured one of these yet; you seem to have them aplenty in your neck of the woods.

@milaniet @jgpittenger @ludwigsdiana @haskar @koalagardens @mjalkotzy thanks Milanie, Jane, Diana, Haskar, KG and Martin, as always, really appreciate all of your comment's, view's and fav's. and yes, this was with the new lens. I'm really liking it, as I'm getting most of these shots now, just hand held as opposed to being on a tripod. It is a little heavier than the one I was using, but think I'll get used to it fairly easily.
