Barn Owl, Up Close

Dolores and I went to the annual Boonsboro Days events in Boonsboro, Maryland on Saturday.  One of the demonstations we enjoyed was the Raptors Up Close birds of prey exhibit.  It is always a good idea to have your camera in hand for those special moments. 

Please share your photographs in the comments for this post.

Roy- You take to the best pictures-  What an interesting color this owl has  very different from the ones i've seen in the past.  Does the coloring have to do with the region that its found in?

Hi Roy, what a stunning owl.  I love how his face is outlined.  The gifts of mother nature are the best.  Great photo.

Roy,

          That is a beautiful bird I do not have any birds to share but I will share a tree. I just thought it was interesting looking. I took it on my recent trip to NYC.

Roy - Your photos of this owl, and also the geese in your comments, is extraordinary.  At first glance, I almost thought it was a porcelain figurine perched there.

Roy,  What a beautiful creature and your photos are stunning.  I think I like your Cannon G11 a lot but I think the guy taking the shot needs to know what he is doing and your certainly do!

How cool!  We have screech owls, and an occasional horned owl...  But I have never seen a barn owl up close!

Roy, I had an occasion many many years ago to help save an injured baby barn owl, I think. I got photos at that time, but digging them up would be an act in frustration. I hope to include a photo here for you, but my darned computer has been acting horribly, so excuse me if I comment and it doesn't happen.

This lovely specimen is such a great model, isn't he??  I like all of his angles and he seems to be posing for you like any fashion model wearing fur would do!

Roy,  What a great picture.  Where is his mouth and nose?  Poor guy.  You got an amazing picture.

Hi Roy,

 Of course, here is another fantastic picture. I could only dream to get half the quality as you do. This owl has very unusual coloring; I love it. Thanks for sharing.

Here is one of my favorite pictures.
