    I have been taking a lot of pictures lately, so i will break them up a bit. This is a Great Horned Owl i found outside of Davis, CA. It has two babies.

    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)?

    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.
