Owl

Visit Bird Photography Weekly to see some amazing bird pictures and info.

These pictures were taken at a reservoir in norther Colorado.  The main part
of the lake is open and pretty much used for water skiing.  There is a small
channel, at the western end, where a few owls live.  We like to take the kayaks
up the channel to try and catch a glimpse the owls.  They get spooked pretty
easy and will scoot to the back of there hole or fly away. 

Pretty sure this is a Barn Owl

    Hi Tom.. just to confirm that is a Barn Owl... and a cracker it is. Well spotted and captured.

    You mentioned about my pictures on Sky Watch this week.. the program I used was from a company called Serif you can find them here.. http://www.serif.com/ sign up for their emails for fantastic offers.. The one I used for them this week was called Serif DrawPlus 8. I also use Serif PhotoPlus 11 which is very good.. If you have ever priced up the likes of Photoshop you will be surprised at the cost of Serif's stuff..
    Ha! I sound like a salesman for them.. but I can only say good stuff about the company.
