Hi Jaccop.
Amazing pose, great shot.

Cheers, Graham.

A great horned owl asleep in a large spruce tree in my backyard. His partner was perched on a nearby branch. This isn't the best picture, but it's the best I could do. Repositioning for a better shot or getting closer weren't options. I'm constantly finding owl pellets at the base of this tree but seldom see the owls, although I frequently hear them. 7D + Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary at 600 mm.

Very nice, dpc!

Still trying for a decent shot of the great horned owls that inhabit my backyard at least some of the time. The nice thing is I know where they'll likely be and when, so I can bide my time until an opportunity beckons.

Hi dpc.
That looks very much like an 'oh it's you again' look! Not a bad shot to show them in their natural environment.

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks for looking, Graham. Yes, it was rather amusing to see the owl glance down at me with that quizzical look. I'm sure it's wondering why I'm encroaching on its territory while at the same time recognizing that I'm not much of a threat. I hope it allows for even greater photographic opportunities.

That's a very nice shot, a natural pose and habitat.

Those are some fantastic closeups Serendipidy !

Things are a little slow at my feeder lately. Cant wait for spring so things pick up a little.
for now I have to settle for junco's and chickadee's

For lack of willing models , I have resorted to sorting through old folders . It's funny how many good shots get overlooked.

You're not alone; and I don't even get the juncos at present!
