Wow Rex! What a treat to view!
Such beautiful scenic backgrounds!
Your captures of the owls are so gorgeous!
You are very lucky

I agree with the lucky. Thanks BB, I'll have a beer with you.
Wow, great set of images. I particularly like 11, 14 and 15. I am surprised the color of the bird changes from brown to gray. Your comment indicates it is one bird. I have never managed to get shots of owls. Does the lighting change their color that much?

First, thank you for commenting. The colors do change. One reason is the available light. Another is the white balance applied to the image based on conditions. And the other is post processing to get certain effects. 13 is one that I tried some different PP. I wish I didn't post it. 1, I tried 4 different versions before settling on what I posted. If you look at a number of the images, you can see that the face is grayer than the rest of the bird and in others it looks the same. I didn't do anything to cause that. Just the way the light falls on the subject.
