This adult Great Horned Owl was perched in one of the granary cutouts on my family farm in nw Montana.\u00a0 I’ve had many opportunities with them in such a setting because the owls have been there for years and there’s lots of old weathered\u00a0granaries and barns there\u00a0that they like to roost in.<\/p>\n

This time I thought I’d go with a composition that brings\u00a0the wood a little more into play.<\/p>\n

This bird faced me for a quite a while but they often don’t sit in the cutouts for long since during daytime\u00a0they prefer their sanctuary on the rafters and in the relative darkness inside the buildings so here the owl had just turned around in preparation for entering the granary.<\/p>\n

Then it turned its head the other direction before flying to one of the rafters inside the building.<\/p>\n

My grandpa, uncle and father built\u00a0most of\u00a0these old farm structures back in the 1930’s and I know some of the stories from their construction.\u00a0 Life out there wasn’t easy back then and just looking at this old wood, the nails and the cutouts has special meaning for me, especially when one of\u00a0 “my”\u00a0owls\u00a0is part of the picture.<\/p>\n
