I took a fairly long walk yesterday seeing a lot of fun waves, birds, and bugs but spotting this barn owl, that is new to me, was my favorite moment.
I was checking a tree that I have seen a different barn owl in and didn't see anyone in the normal spot. Thinking the tree was empty I stepped under to look for any fresh signs like owl pellets and whitewash (bird poo -:)
Not seeing anything fresh I looked up and was surprised to see this super cute small (female?) looking down at me. Since I had my camera out I quietly took a couple of shots and moved away slowly to avoid disturbing it any more than I already had.
It looked smaller and darker than any of the barn owls I have seen in that area so I think it must be new to me. Though I bet it has seen me wandering around the area before.
At first I thought the images weren't very good because of the branches right across the face but realized they capture the moment we shared better than a clear shot ever could.
