Just for fun...

A shot of some hours ago.

Mom & dad.

I've always been a sucker for owls, and consider them to be my kindred soul-mate, somehow. Love em'.

I keep looking for owls. I was out on a trail last weekend with my camera (for once) - and could hear one - but never found him. Love the shot.

They're not easy to find because they don't life in trees but in holes under the ground. Ones you find one, you can come back and try to make some pics another day because they very loyal to their location.

LOL - that might be part of the problem - I was looking up!!

I meant the owls on the pic are living under the ground (Borrowing owls). The most of the time if you hear an owl, you must indeed look "up".

Good shot, love it!

Love this. There's something about owls that always makes me smile!

They may skinny legs but they don't call them birds of prey for nothing.

Oh yeah, I own two parrots... I know all about how lethal their claws can be at times, I can't imagine how sharp actual talons would be, lol.
