    Hi Everyone,
    Caught this barred owl resting just off of the highway in the bush on Friday. Found him from the mobbing of the other birds in the area.

    Stats: Canon 50D, 500mm + 1.4X ISO 800, F/8 at 1/30 sec.

    Thanks for your comments,

    Steve

    I like the soft light, eye contact and inclusion of the habitat and I might only lighten the eyes a bit more.

    Hi Steve, how's Nanaimo? :)

    Nice shot, love the upright pose and detail, typical west-coast habitat compliments the bird.
    Lightening the eyes a bit might be nice but they are quite dark anyways.

    Hi Everyone,
    Thanks for the nice comments on this one. Seems to be a whole lot of these guys in the area right now. Normally they can be a bit wary of humans but the last two that I encountered were quite tame. Only regret that I could not be fast enough to catch this guy in action as he was a great snake hunter and went for a snake snack about every half an hour or so :D.

    Take care,

    Steve
