Tilted

So lucky to see and photograph this species again. I think its the 6th one I have seen in the past 7 Winters and hopefully it will remain in the area for a couple more weeks before returning to the Northern forests.

Canon 7D and 500F4

Gary, there are great photos posted here all the time, but that first one is EASILY my favorite Owl shot that I've seen on here in a long time. It looks like it's sizing you up, though...you might want to consider bulking up or wearing a heavier jacket :D

Wonderful photos, Garry - everything, the poses, the background, colors., the works gel superbly, and what a subject. Sublime and wholly faultless.
