Nice capture :smile: have you been putting any bait out for them? I've got 2 pairs very close to my house that I want to start working on.

I've placed a fence post in for one of the pairs which they're using now but I haven't had the time to photograph them yet, I was going to bait with mealworms and lobworms..

A fine shot of the owl in his natural habitat.
Love the stretched wings and that stern look. :cool:
