Any day I have the good fortune to come across a Barred Owl is a *Great* day.
This morning was such a day, although taking the image was a challenge. It was
sitting in deep shade, over a small creek, making finding enough light a challenge.
It was also not very patient with me either, allowing me only two shots before
having enough and leaving.
