Avian Image of the Week for the week ending Sept. 13th, 2013: David Salem - Barn Owl

[Daniel Cadieux]

Congratulations David!

Took this last winter at my local wildlife refuge. I posted one from this chance encounter a while back. I was leaving the refuge without much going on when this Owl flew right in front of me and landed on this post in nice morning light.
