Well he was hiding and not wanting to reveal himself about mid-morning when I stumbled onto him.

Just great!

Well spotted, Ron; perhaps a tighter crop?

I am constantly looking in any hole I find in a tree around here and haven’t found an owl yet! Great job!

Thank you.

Thank you John. Cropped as tight as I fear I can without degrading these. Couldn't get close enough, going to need a 1.4x or 2.0x TC with the 300mm to get closer.

Thank you.

Nice shot. Agreed about the tighter crop as long as it holds it's sharpness. I take a lot of pictures that I can't crop much for that very reason.

Nice shot. Great gnarly old tree trunk.. the owl's eyes appear "squinty".

 

[ronlane]

Thanks everyone. I tried to crop a little bit more.
