You found a very expressive owl! Very nice series.
There was a pair there, male and female, I assumed the female was smaller, and she was preening as much as the male, I just had to wait till they were done lol.
Early morning light, in the thick of 2 large pines doesn't leave much light. /200ths to 1/500ths ate iso 500 F4 - F5.6 handheld looking up is a pain in the neck lol

Great shots! Owls are so hard to spot in a tree, let alone capture, unless you know where to look. Good job!

Thanks all :)
yes they are hard to shoot. Fat is I could not tell if i was focused or not. was not enough light to see any detail. had to rely on the almighty all dependable Pentax AF system. < joke of course > however, this time it did not l;et me down and I was quite happy. spot exposure is the key, and yes they get cranky if you approach head on and to fast. approach at an angle, like wandering about,
