Location City -  Way out in the woods !
State -  MINNESOTA
Country - United States   United States
About Went out looking for Owls again today. Overcast not the best light, but good for the Owls to be out hunting during the day.
Decided to try the next County, and took off. On the way there, where no Owls are supposed to be I found this one. He had been Listening for mice and thought he had one, but he swooped down, see previous post, and never attacked. I had the opportunity to shoot him close up and it was great. this shot at 200MM with the zoom, this up load is one of him in the tree. that way left to right it makes sense.
The sun was starting to break through the clouds when i got this shot.

Not too often, a shortage of food drove them south out of canada and the was a concentration near my home. after 5 weekends of long distance shooting , I got a run of shots closeup with great light.
thanks for your comment

He looks so surprised I reckon he's thinking "Hey, Jim C's got a new camera and lens".
Stupendous shot. How far away from him were you?

Great shot Jim! He's looking right at me! I kinda like the overcast sky; no distracting clouds. How long did it take to find this guy? I walk through the woods and can't seem to find any wildlife. Maybe I'm just too noisy. Regards, ---Duane---

needless to say I wouldn't want to be a mouse. really amazing clarity. the yellow eyes. like the contrasts of the background with his/her presence.
