Barred Owl

I was leaving Presquile the other day with not much success when I noticed this Barred Owl on my way out. I didn't have any pictures of one at the time so I was thrilled, not to mention just seeing an owl ion the wild is a rewarding experience itself.

Thanks Marko. It was my fav as well, and I got it printed on canvas at 24"x36" and I love it. I did not use any flash on these. Settings were ISO 2500, F/7.1, SS 1/800, handheld on a Canon 6D + 400mm F/5.6L.
