    Default Barred owl close range flight

    Barred owl at close range, This was made from Jim Neiger's boat. Owl was attracted using Jim's call technique (BTW I learned that I am really bad at imitating bird calls!). Doug got almost the same frame. BG is a cypress trunk

    Arash, good flying angle, and I like the the overall detail. The BG colour compliments the owl very well. Well captured.

    Amazing Arash. I'm out of superlatives for your images. Suberb details, light and IQ.

    Looks great. Excellent sharpness and details, Arash.
    I'm wondering if a taped call would have worked just as well.

    Thanks everyone for nice comments

    Karl, I think it should work as long as you have a nice audio rig with enough power.
