Beautiful light, great detail. I like the first one, especially in that it seems like the viewer is on a somewhat equal plane with the owl.

Wonderful shots. Could you identify the prey on the branch in two of the photos? Looks like a wading bird possibly (by the feet in photo 4)?

WOW! Excellent! I've not seen owls in my area unfortunately.

Great shots!

Wonderful captures! I especially like #5 - "When do we eat?"

I think that someone could make money selling Toy baby owls. Extra Points for very cute.

Thank you all for your compliments, it is the first owl i have seen since i got into photography.

It was a coot. Here is a photo that better shows the feet.
