p.1 #1 · First attempt Great Horned Owl

Here is my first attempt at a Great Horned Owl. The conditions were not the greatest I need to try again when the weather gets better. It was very cloudy so lighting was not the greatest and the owl was high up in a tree in shade with bad back lighting. Here's what I got anyways. I waited for few hours for the eyes to open but no luck.

The female was near by but I could barely see the top of the horns in a hole in the tree.

I'll go back once the chicks are hatched.

Nice shot! You'll be in for a great treat as you watch the family, especially as the young'uns fledge and "earn their wings." Keep us posted.

Boy this shot makes the owl look impressive.

Can't wait to see more of him awake.

Lucky you! That is one stocky looking owl. Looks like an invisible grasp on the branch, I don't see any grip. I look forward to more.
