1st Post: Northern Pygmy Owl from Sunday

[James Yule]

Took this in Park County, Wyoming a few hours after I had the pleasure to meet Alfred and Fabiola Forns in the Field. This little guy never gave me great light but it was still well worth the sighting.

Hi James, Welcome to BPN. I joined couple of days back and can tell you, this is a great place to be. I took a shot at ur pic for the crop. Kept more space on bottom and left side..as the stare goes deep in the corner ..and did crop stuff from the right hand side.

Sweet image with a great expresion on the face of the owl. The re-crop works very well. Perhaps just a bit more off the left side????

Hey James, it was a pleasure to meet you!!!!! We should have stayed with you, I've been dying to get one of these for a while now.
A beauty, I hope we get to see it next week.
Happy New Year!!!!!!

Hi James It was a real treat running into you !!! Mike sent us the pic of the little owl ... and can't wait to see one, will be trying with Mike when we get back from West Yellowstone !!

Would just take out the lower branch but do like having a little space for the little guy to look into !! One sweet image ... I know how hard it was to find it !!!!
