Owl and Hawk

[Andygod]

Lots of action down at Lynde Creek today after the busload of children left.





This Barred Owl looked much smaller than the ones I have previously seen down there, has anybody else noticed a significant difference or has anybody seen more than one at a time.  2 or 3 years ago there was at least 2 there, but this is the only one I have seen this year and the first time I have seen it in the sunshine.

Lovely shots. I went there a few times in search of this owl; always came back empty handed.

I saw that Barred Owl in the sun late on Sunday.  He looks quite bored in your shot.

Excellent lighting and detail on both, awesome shots.

It sure makes it easier to get better pictures when the sky is blue and the sun is shining.

Really great pictures!  Sure beats the photos I took of what is likely the same owl today at Cranberry Marsh.  This fellow seems to enjoy an audience!  It looked like paparazzi around him today.
