I got home today and walked out in the back yard to see if my buddy was back. Yesterday evening as it got dark...I heard the crows going nuts.
This usually means there is a bird of prey about and they are hasseling it.
Sure enough there he sits maybe 12' up inside one of my trees.
I give you my buddy....the Barred Owl. Handheld and braced against a tree....ISO 400 1/4sec @ F8 320mm
