When a I spotted that Great Horned Owl that I wrote about in my previoust post, I had taken several images from different positions. Many of those poses were with tree leaves obscuring the details. This image that I found is a side view and the leaves are mostly to the side. However, the owl was blending into the colors and shadows of the tree itself. Also with the back- light, it presented a post-processing challenge. Here is the image that I chose for this post. I didn’t mention it before, but I think that there is damage to the left eye. I never did see it wide open, but he did seem half asleep part of the time. Maybe he was just keeping one eye on me. 🙂

Thanks, Syl. I do not look forward to snow. That is why I left Michigan back in 1955. But it is beautiful…….to look at. 🙂
What a magnificent bird! I’ve yet to see one in person. But it’s no wonder … It’s dressed in camo. And of course, you funny fella, your one-liner cracked me up!!! Ha,ha!!!
Hi Deb, I just replied to your e-mail. I didn’t realize that you had already seen this. (I went to buy a camo jacket, and couldn’t find one.) HaHa!
Glad you liked it. 🙂
