On Saturday we went to San Luis National Wildlife Refuge. As we were driving my wife told me to stop and back up. She said "I think I saw an owl". I've never seen a Great Horned Owl in the wild in California.

I used single point auto focus on the branch just to the right of his feet to a decent focus with all of the branches in the way.

This is the same owl as the first picture. After we stopped I got a couple frames in the tree and then he was nice enough to move to this log so that I'd have a nice clear shot.

Nice find Chris. You need to let your wife pick where you eat out next time ~ Ron

It's pretty nice when they cooperate like that. I've been fortunate enough to see quite a few in the wild but it is still very exciting every single time. I know the first experience with one like yours is quite special and you got a great photo to remember it!

Nice treat for you and as you probably realize the second is the best of the two. You did do a good job of dealing with the branches in the first
