A long time friend and nature and wildlife photo blogger ["Natural World" Through My Camera] invited me to one of his many haunts. He had been photographing owls for the last couple weeks and invited me to join him today. We did have some luck. First, as we were waiting for the owls to show up, a Great Blue Heron dropped by and allowed us a couple of shots. Then a couple of Great Horned Owls gave us some attention. This was a first for me and quite exciting. The Screech Owl was another first. He was setting, sleeping and warming himself in the sun. A very cooperative subject.

Awesome pics! I love owls. I have a couple that live in my woods and have caught a couple of pics of them. I'm always looking up in the trees for them.
Lucky you! I would be thrilled to see owls out in the open like this. Fantastic photographs! Love the slumbering Screech owl in the tree. Wonderful!
Great photos Larry! Great Horned Owls are one of my most favorite birds! I wish I could find more of them!
