These birds are really hard to spot, congratulations. I was on a photo trip in Costa Rica and our guide spotted two owls sitting high it a tree. Everyone was set up and shooting, I couldn't see the birds! The guide asked "Can you see that dark area up there" I said yes, he said "start photographing it". It wasn't until I downloaded the files that I actually saw the owls.
I have been looking for owls for years when we go for our woods walks, this was the first time I've been successful. I wasn't sure until I took my first shot an zoomed in. I called my wife back ( she was ahead on the trail) and we started taking shots. We're hoping that we've found his regular roosting spot and will see him again.
