Barred Owl on an afternoon hunt Was a real treat to watch first one in quite a while on our property after seeing so many first 2 years here She landed in a perfect spot after me spooking it with ATV it ended up in a small clearing I made and I was on a hill so it put me at a better eye level with it and the snow was a real bonus Pretty much an full frame shot This one was very tolerant took so images then went back an got tripod wanted a slower speed to catch falling snow she stayed about 30 minutes then flew a bit higher in a pine I let her be to hunt the evening for food

Terrific shot Mark. I like how the branches frame the owl and you captured the gentle snow fall nicely. Very nice mood to the image.
