My favorite owl species. Only my third time seeing one and this time it was cooperative for a photo shoot.
Thanks for looking.

I've never seen a Great Gray Owl. You did him/her justice: two very beautiful photographs.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. Photos were taken near McCall Idaho in what is referred to as the West Central Mountains of Idaho.

Never get tired of seeing these awesome birds Dan!
Excellent images too with both IF (sorta) and perched. I'm pretty sure the perched image would find some wall space somewhere in my house if it were mine :)
