    One from this morning. It's rare to find one in the swamps with such a clean back drop.

    Very loverley. The bird is so sweet, the light so soft, the branch perfect, but my favorites are the three little leaves... Also a plus, the perch entering from the corner.

    Hey David, I forgot to ask. Did you use a tape to bring this bird in or did you just get lucky?
    Thanks and later and love, artie

    I like everything about this one! I agree about the background, I have yet to find one in a nice clean background. Very well done!

    Thanks for the input guys. I just got lucky finding this one along a small slough in the swamp,,,,,,, no calls to lure it in. Not that I'm against that! ;)

    Thanks for the info David. Barred Owls often respond well to tapes. No matter what, you could not have gotten him on a better perch. later and love, artie
