Got closer....

[Bill M]

He allowed me closer this evening and I had set a tripod in place an hour before showtime. I like the results.

Thanks y'all, appreciate the comments.

Going to try to get closer still.

Here's a couple while in the evening sun.

Great job, Bill! Is that his regular perching spot? If so, maybe you could cut out that branch in the foreground in advance of his next portrait session.

[Bill M]

Thanks David. He likes that tree but not necessarily always on that branch. In fact I believe the one in the fore ground is the one he is usually on.

Bill, those are very cool shots, not everyone has an owl living in his backyard! Keep em coming.

[Hawg]

Very cool. You and Casey have some great opportunities. Maybe you should build a house like Casey has setup in his backyard.

[Michael]

Excellent!
