Barred owl

As I said with the earlier post with Daniel, a lot of photography is timing. Being in the right place at the right time with the right subject. And I thought this night it would be a young woman I encountered who was, at first, doing yoga but got wrapped up by the time I got to her.

Instead it was this beautiful bird.

After several years of doing this, I finally managed to catch an owl. I know there's another owl species around the lake but not sure exactly what it is and I only got a grainy shot of it sometime last year. (Downside of trying to use a Sigma 150-600mm when dusk is fast approaching.) Hopefully catching this one will mean I'll have luck catching that other species.
