Incredible shots Larry. Ive always felt the GHO's feather pattern to be almost hypnotic. Your 2nd shot confirms it for me. Gary

Sat. was "Raptor Day" at Okeeheelee Park in West Palm Beach. They keep several birds that cannot be returned to the wild and one day a year they charge admission to photogs for good photo ops - so it is win/win for all involved. This was early mourning starting at 8:45 - 10:00.
They had several raptors, but the Owls were highest on my list - as I have NO OWL images ! I would love to say I got these shots in the wild

- they are such amazing birds !
GEAR: Sony A77II and Sigma 100-300 f4 from bodypod or sitting on ground , most of these at 300mm, F6.3, 1/400-500 (just in case there was subject action/movement ).
