Like the second one, how he is looking above his wing and you can see his eyes.

Very nice, Gary. Last winter I did not see a one; the winter before, six in one day. Go figure.

Superb images Gary. The 2nd shot would make a fine print to hang on your wall.

Wow! 2nd shot reminds me of that TV or movie character who would draw his cape across the lower half of his face. (Who was that??) Anyway, great captures, Gary-way to go!

Great shots of a wonderful little owl, Gary. I have not photographed one of these for about 3 years and miss the little guys.

Wow Gary! If you were to tell me that it was a stuffed Owl and you cloned out the stand I'd believe you. These are stunning.
