First time out with the (new to me) Canon 1D MkIV and 100-400 MkII zoom combo.
Shot during some unusually warm February weather here in Michigan.
Enjoy.

These are all fabulous....are they all in the wild? I've never even seen a barn or screech owl let alone gotten that close to photograph them.

Thanks,
They are in an animal rescue sanctuary located near Howell, Michigan.
Many are injured and cannot return to the wild...Very sad!
They offer a once a year "Birds Of Prey" photo shoot.
Funds go directly to the care of the animals in the sanctuary.

Thanks for clarifying....I've done similar at our Raptor Trust and it is a great experience although we don't get such nice posts or backgrounds.

Stunning owl images. That 1D Mark IV is still the king; therefore, I still use and shoot with it.

Thanks to all for the kind words.
The light was perfect.
It was a high overcast day.
These birds are truly amazing.
Kudos to those photographers that capture them in the wild.
I've lived across from a woodlot for the last six years.
I occasionally hear the hoot of an owl that frequents this woodlot.
I have yet to lay my eyes or my camera on it.
My wife has spotted the owl once.
Thanks again.

Yes.....So far so good....It has surpassed my expectations.
I am soon going to be testing out the focus tracking capabilities at some spring training baseball games.
Thanks,
John
