Thank you everyone! :-) This Owl was perched on an old post and flew across the dirt road. I then walked through some tall brush and tree limbs to an open area that had a few dead trees and a very small pond. I walked fairly close to this Owl and noticed this limb must be a frequent stop. Notice how worn the end of it is from the talons! Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: March 17, 2006 Comments: 13794

Splendid shot of this handsome fellow. We have an owl, but he only shows himself at night and then it's when he's flying through the pasture. Don't suspect I'll ever have a photo of him. Thanks for sharing your great shot. Congratulations on your AC! Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: September 27, 2007 Comments: 12365

About idzrvit

My Dad(cptkirk) got me hooked on this GREAT site a few years ago! My favorite thing to shoot by far is storms and lightning. I can't sleep if there is a storm within a 2 hour radius. I have been known to show-up at work after an all night chase with little or no sleep! I appreciate all your mail, comments and tips. I have learned so much from a lot of you! Have a great day and thanks for looking and rating my photos! www.lightning-chaser.com
