Since these forums launched I've dug a bit deeper into my files and taken a fresh look at some of my earliest digital images. Here's one of a Great Horned Owl from 2004 shot on my first DSLR with its whopping 2.6 Mpixels of resolution and my old Nikon 600mm f/5.6 manual focus lens.

Nikon D1H, Nikkor 600mm f/5.6 P lens @f/5.6, 1/160", ISO 320

Thanks but FWIW I haven't had much luck finding and photographing great grays around here and that particular owl was several states away and on a trip where I was specifically looking for owls to photograph. Same with the burrowing owl image I posted to open the thread and at least one of the snowy owl images I posted. Sometimes it takes a bit of research and travel to track down wildlife subjects.

This was in an email this morning for Audubon for kids. Some of us are still big kids I guess.

Owls: Look, Listen, Mimic, Measure!

After looking at pictures of North American owls, kids learn the differences between five kinds of owl by playfully probing their sounds and size.

In the early dawn light I heard an owl call which was answered. Since it was too dark for photography I (very sensably I thought) stayed in bed. Two hours later I look out the lounge window and see Mom? then Junior, then both together. Does a morning wake up get any better than that? Barred Owls.
