This Barred Owl let me walk right up to it and snap a few before he flew away without making a sound. Being right next to such a reclusive bird while it Who who whooo's was a privalige. This is only my second really close owl encounter and so far both of them (the other was a great horned) were very courteous to the paparazzi.
Here is the Great Horned Owl I met on the Stones one day. Taken with a point and shoot.
Earlier in the week on Priest, Momma was watching me very closely.
Because these guys are still a little vulnerable.
A Rocking Blue Heron.
