Thanks for the comments and likes. I had fun watching and photographing this owl and her/his neighbors. (I saw 5 of them.) I was about 5 yards away when I took this shot.

I live within 10 miles of that park but I have the advantage of driving around on my job so I visit the local parks often.

Rog I'd like to say you are right, but I blinked first. This adorable fella was protecting her/his nest and had eyes on me as I inched closer and closer.

I wonder how close it would've let you get before trying to rip your eyeballs out. ;-)a
