While in Yellowstone National Park a week ago, my Daughter and I hiked up to Avalanche Peak and on the way down we spotted this Boreal Owl.
Was very excited to spot this guy or gal.:)

Awesome find! One of the more difficult owls to visually locate.

Terrific shots.

I'm beginning to understand why I have no owl images in my catalog. I can hardly spot them in pictures, much less in the woods.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. The only reason we spotted this owl was due to a small flock of song birds raising a ruckus and I went to investigate. Then I saw something a bit larger fly off to a nearby tree. I can't describe how excited I was to see it. This is the second time I was able to spot an owl with my Daughter. The first was a Great Gray Owl also in Yellowstone NP. Her and I have some wonderful memories there.

Great find and nice capture. Owls are difficult, but you definitely have a keeper.

Make sure you keep taking your daughter as it seems to bring you good luck and I am sure it is wonderful to have her along.
