Beautiful pics, quite the attitude bird to sit on your tripod! I learn a lot looking at your pics, and enjoy everyone you post.

Awesome pictures, I really like 1 and 3... but I couldn't see how it wasn't baited and used to being baited. Any owl I've ever seen in the wild I've had trouble getting within 50 yards of it before it would fly out of a tree, yet alone getting one to litght on your tripod...

The tripod belonged to another photographer, I use a bushhawk and never use my tripod. He landed on it because it was in the middle of a field and there was nothing else for him to land on. Usually Hawk Owls like to perch on the tallest tree/thing around.

I sent you an email back....

I will be starting a Photoshop Workshop this year sometime. Haven't decided if it will be in person only or some online tutorials as well.

Thanks Bruce!

Thanks buddy! He is very cool in real life. Since he is Boreal, he is very approachable also.

I don't think the pictures really convey how small he is, his face is smaller than your fist. He is only about a foot tall (without the tail).

Wasn't criticizing you for baiting it, I was just curious...

Once my 500 is back from calibration I'd love to go shoot the NHO with the "gang" from FM/NSN.

I just pop in every now and again to see what the folks on the nature and wildlife board are doing. Man, these are so unbelievably sharp and crisp. Truly outstanding. The eyes are incredible.
