Was able to get out shooting again today at a local state park called Antelope island...went on a LONG hike to the top of a mountain hoping to see some big horned sheep and saw NOTHING...then caught these guys on my last stop before going home.
Adult Male Great Horned Owl (my second owl ever! I know, the branch in the face, but I had to choose between this and like 50 branches covering him almost completely from any other angle I figured it looked better with it in the picture than trying to clone it out in such an important area)
he let me get pretty close, I got a bunch of pics of him, they're all really similar, he didn't move much, some have a few more branches in the way, this is a 100% crop of the above shot to see his intense eyes:
I *THINK* this is an immature coopers hawk...still not great at identifying some of these raptors
and this one I'm kindof stumped on, I think its a warbler of some kind. but I can't figure out what kind exactly, any help is appreciated.
