These young Great Horned owls live in the foothills just east of our house. I thought they would be good practice for Me. My nephew Wes came with just to make sure we actually got some good shots! One thing I can say is that I hate Bill's tripod and I will forgive him when he decides to splurge and go for a nicer one. What's it called, a "whimberly" head? Whatever, I just know I don't like the one we have! I wasted more time messing with it and never could get the camera lined up just the way I wanted it. Good thing I have Bill to do My post processing. (grin)
