very nice pix. what camera/lens were you using. how close did she let you get before flying off.

Thanks everyone. I was using a Canon 7D + 500mm f4 lens shooting from my car. The owl was about 30 yards off.

edit: I have found one can approach wildlife closer in a car than on foot. If I had been on foot at that distance the owl would have flown right away.

Outstanding pic Dan.
I too have a great appreciation for Indiana outdoor wild life.
Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Here is a pic Dan captured of me shooting my Smith & Wesson 629 Backpacker in .44 magnum.
This revolver has a 2 1/2 inch ported barrel. I was shooting full magnum loads.
Dan can click that camera quick.

Before I traded my .44 we always enjoyed shooting it after dark for the fireball effect. Great camera work!

Nice photo wish while I was there I would have seen one. I have seen alot of wildlife during my time in the military but never an owl.
