I was lucky to capture this barred owl through our living room window at 9:30 last night. I set my camera to "auto", shut the flash off, relied on outdoor lights, and used Live View. I didn't want to take the chance missing the shot with any other settings. Shot with my Canon Rebel T6s and a 100-400 L IS II Canon lens. ISO was 6400. I am totally hyped on the outcome.

Nice shot.
Interesting note..I got a nice pic of a barred owl a week or so ago also...
the feathers on his chest are blurred as are yours... These feathers are super light and move with the slightest air motion... They "feather" the bird when it is swooping down and make the flight practically noiseless to its prey.
