Here's a shot I took this morning. I had some trouble with the RAW settings, but I think this shot is decent. Let me know what you think.

Each time I had an opportunity to shoot it was under overcast skies.....A wonderful little owl from the Boreal forest.....must be making quite a stir in your area. Thanks for sharing....very nice Gary Fairhead C/C welcome .....

This bird has been in the same general area (I'd say within a couple of acres based on reports) for about two weeks. It was almost uneventful pulling off the road by the three or four other cars belonging to birders, getting out, looking up into the tree and seeing it sitting there! -Carl
