A resident at the Center For Birds Of Prey. I am not sure how he was hurt but the center is his home now. One of the lucky ones.


A few shots taken the other day of a Barred Owl.

He was a little wet from standing in shallows where they hunt for frogs and cray fish.
Each image is slightly different since light was shifting with the wind through the overhead bamboo canopy. ISO was very high.
Recently we made several trips to swamps that are darker and denser than our usual places. Getting light and working around the reflected colors is still a work in progress.

I have several days of Owl photographs to finish but I see it may be easier than I thought. Most can just be deleted after the first pass. Duplicates and color distortions are throughout the images.
This is the first photograph from the trips. Instead of hiding far out into the swamp this one was right on the edge hunting in shallow water.
