We went back to owl-land on the east side as we are determined to photograph an owl in flight. We saw the younger of the two juveniles and stalked it for awhile, from tree to tree. No clear in-flight shots from today but still fun to photograph as it (he? she?) moved about. I did get one really clear flight shot, but sadly, missing its head!
So coooool! I love owls! Once in awhile I will hear that at night here, hooting. I lived 1.5 miles away from here for years and had GHO all in my neighborhood - they'd nest in the trees at the house and I loved when they would land on the fireplace! Hooting would echo all through the bottom floor of the house. Oh... I do miss them.
What a hoot! (Oooh terrible pun of the day LOL) This is a gorgeous owl. I don't know how you tell the gender either. Those feather look almost stone like with all the different shades of brown
Gorgeous photo!! FAV
I am amazed that you keep finding them and are able to photograph them. Can't wait to see an "in-flight" shot! I somehow know you will persist.
Wow! Sorry I missed this challenge! I would have liked to participate, but of course today is the last day and no photography for me today due to rain and things to do! Love the owl!!
What a stunning capture! Fabulous detail! So jealous! I love owls and to see them in the wild is amazing! Good luck with the flight shot - somehow I don’t think we will have long to wait!
