Long Eared Owl

Long Eared Owl seen this last weekend. These were very difficult to photograph amidst the dense underbrush of the pine trees they were hiding out in. Don't even get me started on the white balance...

This is fantastic - look at those eyes!

BTW, I hear you about how hard it is to photograph them hiding amongst the trees - I still haven't managed to get one I like!

This is a great capture. This particular stare is usually followed by the birds flying away. Good work!
