The look you are getting with the head on second image is quite intense. Is this a fully grown owl?

Where did you see these?

Great job on these, and that ISO 20000 sure cleaned up nice.

Thanks Jim, these little cuties reside right by the trail, it only came out near dusk, the camoflouge makes it very difficult to see.

Thanks Roger, I was able to push the ISO limit.

PS: did you have a chance to check out the snow bunting near Half Moon Bay ? I saw a post on the Internet of the little bird but couldn't find it later.
