Lake Blue Cypress - 1d Mark IV, 28-135mm @ 56mm, hand held from boat, manual exposure, 1/1600, F5.6, ISO 500

This Barred Owl actualy landed on my boat several times. One of those times there were 6 people in the boat. This particualr time, there were 3 of us in the boat and the Owl stayed on the boat for a good 10 minutes.

Maybe it wants to join BPN?????:eek::eek::eek: Very funny image. Very strange behavior as well.

[Clemens Vanderwerf]

Jim, must have been the same owl, as he was probably looking for his 6 foot 6 target!!

[Bill Dix]

Terrific shot, Jim. I'm sure it hasn't escaped you that this is a great ad for ThinkTank.:S3:

[Tin Man Lee]

Jim, you can bring him home next time. And looks like he likes your thinktank.

[Tin Man Lee]

Yea Clemens, I totally agree!

[gail bisson]

No...I think he is looking for the canadian girl to put him in her suitcase and take him home!!...

[Tom Rambaut]

Puts a whole new meaning to 'bagging an Owl'.

[Randy Stout]

Must be the mouse treats stashed on the boat:bg3:

Interesting behaviour for an owl!

Cheers

lol, This is crazy Jim!

[Robert Holguin]

Wow!!! Talk about strange behaviour yet must have been a thrill to witness and you took advantage of a great situation. Well done.

[Tommy Rodgers]

If I hadn't had an owl experience with you I would not believe it. You truly offer an extraordinary experience on your boat. I kidded you that you secretly train your birds, but here is photographic evidence that supports that allegation.:S3:

Thanks for sharing a grate image of YOUR owl.

Best personal regards,
