Project 365: Jan 26, 2008

I would have never imagined my first owl sighting occurring in my own back yard! The excitement was almost too much! This Great Horned Owl sat in my yard for nearly an hour. I got about a hundred shots of him with the Rebel and 300mm lens, and a few with the digiscope and point-n-shoot as well. I didn't hook up the Rebel to the digiscope, as I was hoping to get some flight shots when the owl took off, but he flew away from me instead of toward me and I had no luck with that.

Still, I'm incredibly happy with the shots I was able to get, and hope to get more visits from owls in the future!
