I went for a walk in the woods on a snowy afternoon hoping to find some Owls I had seen in that location before. Sure enough about 10 minutes into my walk I spotted a Barred Owl asleep on a branch overlooking a creek that runs alongside the path I was walking on. I kept my distance and with assistance of my new Sony a7iii and the silent shooting function was able to grab a few shots before I moved on.
