Thanks for all the comments! I must also add he was observed during the photo session by my 5 cats and he/she kept them in their place!!!

I hope it is OK to add these pix of a Great Horned Owl that fell out of a tree and was unable to fly yet. He was mine to photograph for the day until the Rescue people from ODNR came & took him away for rehab before being released into the wild. Pix taken on an obsolete camera that I have taken over 30,000 pix on-Sony Movica SD-73. Just reg settings no enhancement/photoshop with lots of natural color.

Dropped in for a visit.

Great subject for pix.

PNagy-What kind of duck is that? Not native to my area.

I did take quite a few pix with the opportunity I had. I take pix of wildlife for my own enjoyment.

I take a great deal more for my business. I am a Professional Auctioneer and I post to Auction Zip. On my Valentines Antique Auction last Feb I posted 1900+ pix on the first day and nearly 1000 pix for the second day of the sale. In my market area we are are way above the rest of the Auctioneers in quality & quantity!

Here is a few pix of many I took of a Great Horned Owl that had fallen from a nest and could not fly. The Ohio Conservation Officers came and picked it up and took it to Yellow Springs, OH for it to be taken care until it could be released into the wild.

I took these pix under cloudy conditions with a Sony Movica FD-73 and were saved to floppy disk. Although evidently contrary to others thoughts I find this camera simply amazing! Since I bought it new in 1999 I have taken over 30,000 pix. I am an Professional Auctioneer and use it for that and also for my pure pleasure.

How did I do?
