You seldom see them out in the open like this as they prefer more wooded areas. Maybe crows had chased it out before I got there. Anytime I see an owl is a great day.

WallaceRiver " ...a bit of a pervy voyeur "  More info | Beautiful capture, you nailed the focus for sure. I've seen exactly 2 owls in my entire long life, although like others have heard them at night, and even "talked" to them but I never see any! Good job!
