        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.

                      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…

                              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…

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