Dec 13, 2007 01:12 | #13 Thank you Alex Paul, Ira, Keith, Henry, T D ,Gary, Kevin, Ritul And Tina. We do have a few owls in this area however the previous ones i posted are the same owls. He was so nice to pose for me. maybe he's getting used to seeing me. The sun was setting and I think I had about 40 min of daylight left. Luckily for me he was facing the sunset this time. He kept calling out for the female so that made it easy to find. If you go to Honeymoon Island they are most often within 50feet of the 2.5 mile marker, very close to the tree marked as owls nest. Because his feathers so match the bark of pine trees they are sometimes hard to spot. Ray : "My pictures are only worth 100 words"

DuaneN Cream of the Crop  More info | Dec 13, 2007 07:16 | #14 I have yet to see one during the day or at least at dusk in my area even though I hear them calling at night. I guess if I'm persistent enough and lucky at the same time I may get a shot with some natural light. Great image! I love the stare down.

I know that it's hard to find them during the day. I guess around dusk is the best time. It does take alot of luck to locate them. Ray : "My pictures are only worth 100 words"
