@Mizmazzle I do. Fall and spring and usually with a bow.

I never see owls in the wild. I think they’re the coolest.

This one was less than 20 feet from me. I stood still and watched it as it did to me. I love owls and have a few species here. Posted a while back a snowy owl that took my breath away. I was shaking with excitement and awe as I took pictures of it.

Beautiful pics. It’s always exciting to be that close to truly wild animals. Something primal about it

I saw this gorgeous osprey when I was out on a bike ride the other day.

@goosehd magical Barred owl! I saw one with Amanda while walking on the C & O Canal earlier in the year. I think I posted a photo on here. They are such amazing creatures, I love them so much. Seeing one in person is a treat.

@goosehd Super cool!

Good few years back now, but I unexpectedly saw a barn owl when out taking some landscape photos one evening. The camera was not set up for a movement shot, and the lens was less than ideal in terms of focal length (so this is a significant crop), but I was so pumped for seeing the bird, let along getting any kind of shot of it…

@Nocturama still f’n outstanding!! Thank you for sharing

Your “bad” picture is 100x better than my good ones.

@Nocturama duuude that's awesome

[Nocturama]

Thanks guys. My brother lives in an area where they have re-introduced the Red Kite (not far from @ARNC) and they are regularly seen scanning the ground at low level looking for an easy meal…

[ARNC]

@Nocturama they’re everywhere near me but they never come close enough for me to get a picture like that!

[Oaktavia]

@Nocturama dude awesome shot

looking for an easy meal

Red Kites are predominantly scavengers, so looking for something that is already dead. Like our cat

A few deer at the farm this evening
