This Barred Owlet was such a ham on day #2 of branching. As evidenced here, it actually lay down on its perch (the same one it stretched from in my last image) and reminded me of a resting koala. This was shot at a rather high angle from fairly close b/c I wanted to convey the owlet's pose as accurately as possible. I don't like the white to the left of the owl, but this was the best BG I could find.
