I enjoy the picture but am wondering how long he stayed there. I had a similar experience--one horned owl in over 35 years. My pix of the bird were not nearly as good as yours as I had to shoot thru a window with a screen on it.
Good job.
Good job.

My wife saw him and yelled, "get your camera." I shot several through the window and all were pretty ugly. I changed lenses and went outside, sneaking around side of the house, getting four good shots before he decided to quit posing and flew away. The whole thing was under 10 minutes. Lucky shot.

Yes lucky, to an extent, but you were able to take advantage of the lucky situation by moving quickly and decisively. My bird left while I was going downstairs to get a better shot. I could write a book about the number of great shots I have missed over the years, that can never be duplicated.

The best thing about this pic is that my wife thinks it is a great shot. I know better, but now she is insisting on a good print from a high-end lab instead of my usual Walgreens or Costco approach. It may even end up on the wall. My luck continues to hold.

Stopped in my back yard tonight. It is the only owl I have seen in the seventeen years I have lived here. When kids, dogs, lawnmowers, and parties start making noise again, I doubt he will be back. Righf now we are all enjoying the enforced quiet.
How exciting!!! Great photograph and don't you love when you get those surprise visits ♥
