This is my entry of a Great Gray Owl (Strix nebulosa).  Picture was taken in the Blue Mtns.

Crap.  Just when I thought I had a chance to win you had to go and post that amazing photo Ricochet?  Still my favorite photo of yours.  It's great.  Don't you have one where he is bugling too?   ;)

Little late T-Roy.   Since it wasn't officially in this contest, I'll let you enter it again later if you like.

Thanks to everyone for your comments, it was more a matter of being in the right place at the right time than being any kind of master of my camera.  In short, I got lucky.

Actually I have quite a few of the old boy bugling.  Unfortunately the positioning of the other elk in the herd weren't always conducive to getting good photographs.  I got several like this, I was so zoned in on the bull that I didn't even notice the other elk's positions.  Kind of distracting, don't you think? :chuckle:



Thanks again for the kind words.
