A friend, Sheldon Gottlieb, sent me this. He noticed him land there through his kitchen window and then grabbed his camera and 400mm lens. Of note he is a great photographer but usually shoots people and places. If that branch wasn't there this would be in a magazine!

Paw Paw at dawn 9.30.2013
Another cell phone shot but at least this one came out a lot better than the barred owl shot. This was leaving early to head back to Louisville en route from the Ridge to Paw Paw and an on the road back home. As always you can click on photos to enlarge them.
The "Natural History" Shot
Actual untouched photo-Can you see a barred owl on the branch??? |
Cropped photo that is lousy but shows the owl! |
Here is the original. See if you can find him. Unfortunately the cell phone camera does no justice as he was really only about 20 yards from me but looks like he is on another continent in the photo.
