Barn Owl – Landing And In Flight
I believe this first image may be only time I’ve ever managed a decent shot of an owl of any species during the landing process.
Farmington Barn Owl Perched and In Flight

I almost didn’t go shooting yesterday because birds have been slow but one of my mantras is “you never know unless you go”, so go I went. I’m very glad I did.
Side-lit Barn Owl In Flight
Great Horned Owl In Phragmites

Great Horned Owl In The Bear River Wetlands
This adult Great Horned Owl at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge yesterday morning surprised me on several levels.
Update On The “Barbed Wire Owl” With Current Photo Of It In Rehab
An Owl, Barbed Wire And The (expensive) Solution To My Camera Problems
