Hello everyone. About a month or so when I found this owl I decided to place perch by its burrow for it to perch on. Everytime I would see it on the perch I would try to approach it, but always jumped off. Well after many, many, many tries. I finally was able to get it on the perch and shoot a couple of frames. Hope you enjoy.
C&C welcomed and encouraged.

Nice image Robert, this little guy looks mad at you .... ... Its always great when a setup work they way you planned.
Nice image, sharp and nice background.
Nice BG, pose and perch, Robert.
I too would like a bit more eyes open, I am sure you will get one.
Nice idea with the perch, cool that it is working out.
Well done, Robert. Great idea for the perch. So many shots of these guys have their feet obscured by vegetation around their burrows, and you solved that problem nicely. I might have been tempted to cut just a slivver off the perch at the bottom, and add a corresponding slivver to the top. But aside from that, an outstanding shot.
