Great Gray Owl of prairie creek(humboldt)

so on tuesday, i left my house at 2:30am to drive the 300 miles to prairie creek redwoods state park to check out the great gray owl that has been spotted hanging around there...got some photos in the morning, and spent the night...definitely used settings i'm not used to- high ISO and shooting wide open...not the sharpest, certainly a bit noisy, but i'm glad i did it...thanks for looking
