Great Horned owl

[Allan]

Here is a parent near its nest (from 2019.) I like the moss though it does get in the way.

I don't mind the moss at all. The second image works for me.

Second one for me.

Thanks - not the greatest images but it was the best I could get.

Very very nice, the moss adds to it. The second one is very cute.

Great shots Allan, the moss frames the owl perfectly.

Thanks Phil and Louie. To some degree seeing any owl brightens the day.

Nice spot with him tucked away in there. IMO the moss makes for a unique setting. I really like the second one.

I am glad people like the moss. This isn't an image I would normally keep but the moss makes it unusual and it was taken while traveling, which meant I would not have a chance to go bck for a better image.

The moss cradles the bird, especially in #2. Very unique and pleasing to the eye.

Thanks Andy.

Nice!! We have one that visits our yard occasionally. Aren't they fun to watch?!

I like it whwen a chick is showing lots of movement. I looked at one this morning for an hour waiting for it to move but it never did.

I think that most of us would be real proud to have taken these shots. I like them both but compositionally would probably choose the second one as my favorite.

I thnk I would like them a bit more if I had more spacec. I had an FX Nikon wwith 1000mm of lens for this.
