This Great Grey Owl was either really hungry or just patient with me today. I was able to get a few pictures from a couple of different angles. Maybe he/she is getting use to me. In this picture I thought maybe the owl had heard a mouse or vole as he/she was pretty focused on the ground below the tree for quite a few minutes.

Beautiful shot, Debra! Very clear! Not easy to see as they blend so well with the surroundings. Luckily they are very often on the outer edge of the woodline.

Love that one Debra. My favorite for what it tells. No sparkles or colours to distract me. The beauty is the patience you took to get friend with the great bird. The image shows that the bird is not anymore stressed by you. He is back to its normal activity. And that gave a gorgeous face with a touch of white lighting. Bravo!

Wonderful tones and detail in another awesome capture Debra! I love the angle of this shot and the pose you caught here. He/she looks pretty unconcerned by your presence while watching for movement below.. well done!
