First timer for me. I have been passively trying to find the 14 species of owl in my home state. This was number 8 found yesterday while hiking with a good friend. Really made my day. Also made for a good opportunity to practice what I learned from Steve's Lightroom de noise secrets (although I started with a fairly decent ISO).

Nice shot! I still haven't seen one. They're supposed to be around here but I haven't been able to find one.

Mighty fine capture. I too have been having real good luck using Steve P's Lightroom de-noise technique. Well done.
