They really are hard to see, Janice. I was lucky some friends pointed him out.

He must be so hard to see in the trees. He just blends in so well

Thanks, Hal, and yes, almost dark...I am amazed - opens up more possibilities since it is usually pretty dark around here most of the time :)

Wonderful shot of a very special bird, Terry.
Looks like you can take pictures in almost dark conditions now.

Great story, Sally, and Thanks!

A great capture Terry. I love his big eyes!
I have only spotted one owl since living in Australia.
Back in South Africa we rescued an injured owl and nursed him back to health.
We called him Ollie. Once let free he came back regularly for a feed.

Dear Terry,
Owls are great birds to observe but . hard to photograph. Good use of depth of field to showcase the owl.

Thanks, Michael!

A very handsome subject and a different pose & position. Overall, a departure from the norm, even in the same genre, I'd say. Very goid specimen.
