I agree about owls being fascinating. I have photos of barn, barred great horned, long eared, snowy and burrowing owls.

The great horned is my favorite followed by the snowy owl....very intense animals!

Beautiful shot!
Is this a captive bird? If it is, how'd you make it look so natural? If it's not, how'd you sneak up on him?

Ah....Yes, this owl is captive. My friend runs a rehabilitation center and cares for injured raptors. This guy is a resident that cannot go back to the wild although there is nothing wrong with him other than he was part of a project by a zoo and was one of four owls raised from the egg by humans. Unfortunately he has no fear of man....

We took him for a walk and let him play around chasing bugs and things on a downed tree which is why he looks so natural.
