Wow, Richard. Just wow!!
I have to say, this is one of your best.
Just a beautiful photo.
I'd hang this on my wall any day.
A bunch of these guys around, but I don't think you could find a better shot of one.  :D

thanks, everyone.
i was hoping to make it 3 weekends in a row, but didn't see the barred owl yesterday. i did see a GHO, though. and no, there wasn't a barred owl in his talons.
