Barn Owl in good hands

Not sure if this would be the right forum, but what the heck. Here are some images of two hoots, one an original, the other a bird. Taken at the Coaldale Birds of Prey center. Enjoy.

And if Greg would not have held the owl, I could not have made this shot ...

Awesome, Matt. I love the close up detail in the third shot. The feathers around the eyes almost look like lace. Great shot.

Awesome captures, Matt!

Hey, they're both animals, that counts. I also vote for the third shot.
