Here are some images of a Great Horned Owl family I photographed in Idaho last summer during my Wild Birds of Prey workshop. All images were made using a Canon 1DX and a Canon 600mm F4 lens hand held. I added a 1.4xTC for some of the images. Thanks for looking. I hope you like them.

As far as I know the adults and two fledgelings survived and are doing fine.
