5-30-2017 Barred Owl on Pine Ridge

The crows led us to her. As always this was taken in very
dim light - note the ISO. So one has to ignore a bit of
'noise' to take their photo without flash.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III ,Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM
1/1250s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso25600 full exif

Pete and Michael, thanks very much!

Just love the view and the performance of the camera at the high ISO. I guess the Nikon shooters are accustomed to a bit more. This guy is a great specimen, and the image detail shows him off nicely.

Thanks very much, Elaine. It was a challenging situation, given the lack of light, but
on the other hand that's what owls like :) Thanks again for your kind comment.

Great tones too.
Love it.
