Continuing with my birder/wildlife photographer impersonation… and now for my next trick…

An owl of some sort. It was dark and ISO was high on these but wow was he amazing to watch. I almost “get” birding. Almost.

Looks like a barred owl (Strix varia), nice shot.

If you're producing great birding images like this, you MUST be a wildlife photographer! Nice shots!

I’d rather be lucky than good! I went shooting with my friend, who is a birder, but we were headed to the community garden to look for butterflies and hummingbirds. We spotted this owl along the trail to the gardens.

Great catch!

Thank you! Pure luck.

I'm envious. Alas, my bird photography is limited to Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner table settings.
