Owls are hard to find, but fairly easy to shoot once found. They don't fly away as fast as many birds. Always in a dark forest it seems.

Wow - wish they would stay put and pose for me like this. Great shot.
This was on a small island in the Spokane River that could be reached when the water was low. I always heard them, but after several visits had never seen them. You can walk right under one and not see it. There was usually 2 or 3 in the area.
That is so cool Ben! I think I saw and shot an owl once.... I think it was in Alaska. But it never looked as good as this. Well, I don't think it didn't since I never really processed any of my images from that Alaska trip,
but in my mind it doesn't look as good as yours.

Hi Jim, it makes a difference when you know they might be there and you go prepared for it. You should process them never know what it might be. I just wish I had my current camera and lens back then. The high iso makes hand holding so much easier.That is so cool Ben! I think I saw and shot an owl once.... I think it was in Alaska.

I've never caught an owl, I only see them in almost full night. Nice shot!
Thanks Craig, they are active at night, and often spend the day roosting like this, quite and still, and hard to find.
Yes, because they are night hunters.
