Invisible WC 573

We spotted this great horned owl pretty late in the evening, after the sun had set. The owl was kind enough to let me set up my tripod and shoot away. Although many of the frames were ruined by head movement, I was able to catch a few that were reasonably sharp. I will say I had to crop quite a bit to get this comp...

As the landscape got darker, this bird got amazingly difficult to spot among all the branches. His hooting gave him away. :)
