Great job on EIGHT owl species! That's amazing. I've only seen Great Horned, Eastern Screech, and a rare Northern Hawk Owl in the wild. I can't believe Barred still eludes me!

These are nice shots.

Yes, and I had given up on them the last few years as they they were now absent...apparently! Good find and nice to see they are still there. Oh, and nothing wrong with these shots - the first one in particular.:D

[QUOTE=canonshooter4li​fe;2898110]The First is Great... I dont know what you are talking about not being good shots!

BTW... If you are ever down this way(hamilton area) I can show you a spot during the winter that almost guarantees shots of these guys...[/quote]

Brandon that is a very generous and welcome invite. I don't have any plans to visit Hamilton anytime soon but if ever, you can be sure i will PM you to set something up.:)

Blue DeuceI have bestowed upon you the title "Owl King". Maybe the title fairy here will honor you as well.

Thats very nice Mike:D but I am just the photographer;)

liv2tripawesome job on these Gary considering the light you had to work with ,,, Ive been up there a couple of times but as of yet haven't seen one ,,, Dan told me that this area has supported a small nesting population for many years

Very nice captures Gary and congrats on #8. IMO the first shot is a real keeper and one to be proud to get.
