The mesh threw off my camera's focus, but in the background you can see the barn owl.
I just decided to use my long arms to get the camera lens between the wire mesh and got a sweet zoom-in on the great horned owl.
If you can't tell, this is the face of a saw-whet owl. It was hiding behind a pine branch, so it makes for a pretty curious effect. However, it also gives you an idea of how small these guys are (check out that pine-needle to eye ratio).
Great pictures! Can you find out if there are any friends and family passes going on? We may want to come play in the water and stop by and say "Hi." Lots of nice building going on.
ReplyDeleteJimmy/James, your owl close-ups are great! I really love owls, I often see barn and short-eared owls and sometimes visit Odessa, a barn owl in a mew at Ogden Nature Center, she's been in rehab there. Come visit the center sometime.
