Joe crystals are in the air. my big problem is I can't see well enough to maul focus so using auto focus I loose a sharp focus. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Rod,
I don't know any wildlife photographer who shoots in manual focus. I can't imagine homing in on a flying owl and trying to adjust my lens manually. Stick with AF.
I live in the same area as you so experience what you do.
All I can suggest is that you keep the sun over your shoulder. Have as much light on your subject as you can get. Having your subject backlit will only exacerbate the problem.
Hope this helps a little.
Joe

I believe the great gray owl is more of a daytime hunter than other owls. I've seen one just once.

The problem with photographing in early morning is that your subject may not be in prime light. On the other hand if your subject is a Great Gray Owl then just be thankful you even saw it let alone take some shots while he's in a hunting mode. It's quite a thrill to see this magnificent raptor.
nice!!
