What a day that must have been! Light to live for! I am really partial to the last shot, a real environmental one...I like to see where these guys are wintering. Your close ups are remarkable and I do love their eyes...those bright yellow eyes with variable pupil sizes...simply beautiful. I am hoping for at least a few more installments...this has been an irruption for the ages!

Damn damn damn!!! What the hell dude?!? My credit card is still reeling from my last trip up there and you put this up?!?! Damn fine work bro. Best yet!
Too good for words, Tim.
You are sure right about the variety of looks. Some of these expressions are so funny they made me chuckle, chortle, giggle and I even guffawed once.

Just remarkable IMHO. If I were ever fortunate enough to view one of these absolutely stunning owls in the wild I would probably miss the shot from awe. Nice work Tim.

All I can say Tim is - keep shooting until they leave the area. You guys are blessed and if I were there, I'd be there almost every other day.

The light blue sky sets off the plummage nicely in 7 and awesome look at those eyes.

Glad you pulled back for one frame and it's always cool to see the lay of the land. Spectacular backdrop to showcase the killer composition.
Superb stuff brah, I know there are a ton of gems in the remaining 1900 frames
