Eastern Screech Owl

[Michael Thompson]

I got this one in Early April, when it opened its eyes for a few minutes, before drifting off into another nap! Canon &d, 100-400ll at 400mm 320 iso, f6.3,1/250ss

Love this, Michael! Despite the low vantage point, the eye contact really makes the picture for me. I remember seeing something similar from you before with much less desirable composition compared to this one. Was it the same owl?

[Mike Poole]

Great peeping out pose, nice work. Maybe try and up the ISO and shutter speed in the future, it's ok this time but a bit on the borderline.

Think it's great the way you have caught the pose on this one,agree with Mike re the shutter speed but still a very nice image that I would be very pleased to have.

Love the brown tones on this one Micheal. I think its broiught out the naturally occuring soft feathers of an owl too.
Like it

Sweet image of this Screech owl a bit on the warm side, but nice details and environment.

Look pretty sharp to me. I assume &D means 7D. Your ISo-400 is a good choice to get the eye noise free I think, which makes the image for me. Loi

Hi Loi, Yes, 7D, I took it early this spring before I upgraded to the 7Dll

Hi Mike, Yes, now that I upgraded my camera, I am much more comfortable with much higher iso! This was taken earlier this spring

Hi Adhika, no that was a more red colored owl, this one had better light and was more cooperative!
