Nice shot, and from the seat of your kayak no less. :coffeedrink:
Great new photos from everyone!
Here's a an owl taking a little break. My dog was yapping at him, but he never moved.
Well of course he didn't move, he is a Bird sitting on a Bird feeder waiting for you to fill the dang thing with a couple of tasty rodents

TJDIV, love those flight shots! It always amazes me when they first take off how cool their wings look

Who ever thinks a White ibis isnt a Bird of Prey should tell that to the fish about to go down it's throat...LOL

Not my photos. Credit goes to Olga Yiparaki for the photography and she gave permission to share these non commercially.
Horned Owl Family at IBM-Tucson, AZ
These owls are on a nest between the cafeteria and building 9062. The nest is at a height of over 40 feet; the owls are usually hidden behind foliage.
These owls were first spotted by Sonny Williams and Joe Hyde. They asked Olga Yiparaki to photograph them.
Photographing these owls required getting to know their habits. Early mornings and late afternoons are better. Olga tried to photograph them for about a week. Sometimes, the wind was too gusty to get a clear shot, and much of the time the owls were hiding. Also, the nice springtime weather helped the trees grow fresh new leaves every day, obscuring the nest more and more.
In the end, the photos were taken on Saturday, April 17, in the afternoon (between 3:30 and 4:30 pm). Saturdays are better because the owls apparently feel more comfortable with fewer people walking around, and as luck would have it, the gusty wind subsided.

Thanks Pat, there's some serious cropping going on there. Still you can eavesdrop on anyone if you got the big glass!

here's a couple from the Nooksack river
sorry for the poor quality
We get a ton of eagles here in December when the salmon run in the Skagit and Nooksack rivers, it's not uncommon to count 100 on a river trip at that time.
Right now there are 5 within 200 yards of the house (3 adults, 2 juvinile) that stay year round. When I was a kid in Maine I knew of one nest that everyone kept secret and you were lucky if you got to see one, there almost as common as seaguls here.

That would be pretty amazing to see!
In a local farmers barn loft.
If you have never been up close and personal with 5 baby Barn Owls you don't know what you are missing.
Just try and imagine the hissing that you would hear if you shoved 5 feral cats in a cardboard box and gave it a shake. :Wow1:
Don't let this cute little face fool you, I suspect it was a trick to try and get me closer so the older sibling could try and get a piece of me.
