Ok I have lived up here for a little over 6 years. I have never been able to a get a picture of an owl in a natural setting.
I know I am no Airdale1 but hey....I got a pic of an Owl....Yipppeeeee! I am stoked.
So may I present...After six years of trying....My Owl pictures.

As it flew away I could see it was actually a pretty impressive sized bird.

I was just driving down RT 109 near 20 mile Bay and was following a slower car. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted what at first I thought was a bump on a branch.
I grabbed the brakes hard and pulled over to the side of the road and looked back. It was an Owl. Right near where one had buzzed over me a while back.
Well I threw the truck into reverse, but trying not to scare it off. I got one picture and then it flew to another tree. I followed it a bit and got the second picture. So now I can add an owl to my wildlife picture album...Yeah!

I know. It is the little things in life right?
