Exceptional shots! My brother is building an owl house as I type this. I am hoping to see "Hootie", a Barred Owl that I saw and shot last April.
I would be thrilled to death if she were to see and use it for her nest. How far do you think you were from this one? Which lens?

I am so bad at distances but think I was probably around 75 feet from the owl. It flew low in an oak tree in front of about 25 photographers. What an experience. I have a Nikon 7100 with 200-500mm lens. Shot this in aperature priority, f/5.6, 1/50, ISO 800, at 460mm. It was 7:30 am so light was low. Good luck in getting "Hootie"!
