Barns and Great Grays are my favorite owls. Maybe because I never see them in the wild.
Great job on the flight shots (especially with a meal).

Owls are some of the most unusual looking raptors. These are great captures, nice work!

Lovely! Love the light on the first one. Very nice. barn owls have always been my favorite species. Sadly, I only ever see them dead on a road or if I'm lucky, a brown blur off to the side caught by my car's head lights.

A couple of great shots here, Jerry; I seem to recall reading once that most owls require at least a little light by which to hunt, but that barn owls can find their prey in total darkness, so efficient are their other senses.

Thanks for the comments....taken at dusk at f2.8 (300 mm) at 400 ISO (7D body), cropped slightly, no photoshop necessary for these, which is lucky.
