Photographed at Francis Beidler Forest. The owl had just come up from under the walkway. I had noticed two of them bathing. I am not sure if this one was washing up after a kill.
I believe there is still some residual blood around it's beak. This photo is taken just after a quick shake. The owl is perched on a Cypress Knee. The forest has Cypress trees which are
over 1000 years old.
Lighting was a little difficult,but thought it was unique enough to post.
D810 & Tamron 150-600mm @ 550mm
ISO 2000
wide open @ f/6.3 1/200 second
indirect fill-flash used
NR for background, catch-lights removed from eyes, background cleaned up
Thanks for looking
