These are all amazing Louie, but #1 is stunning. That should be a big print on your wall.

Dave

Thanks very much Dave, I might have to make a print of that one.

Save me a spot next to you buddy

These are spectacular Louie! You had good light and you have some sweet captures, and your owls have some sweet captures too

I went back to pick a fav, struggled, was easier to hit the vote button

I very much appreciate your comments Karl, thank you. Every now and then you get lucky and the light is on your side.

Louie, You are making me want to move back to Washington. We are getting settled in Idaho Falls but have been busy unpacking so not able to get out and look for photo ops. These are gorgeous and I really enjoyed viewing them. Keep in touch, Bruce

Excellent set of images!
Are #5 and 6 territorial defense?


Thanks very much Dave, and yes the SEO's are very territorial and are fierce in defending it against harriers and other owls.

Were these all captured in one day? If so, that was incredible! If not, they are still incredible.

Wow Louie, fantastic, I am getting settled in to my new home in Idaho Falls, It is really strange to return after 50 years in Washington. I have not been able to find any spots like Skagit to photograph yet but know there are shorties here as well. Still cold with winds up to 50 mph today so not the best for photography. Hope you are doing well and obviously doing well with your photography. Bruce
