Your photos are amazing

Wow great pic

Awesome

Ultimate

I am really enjoying your photos. I love wildlife photography. I need to get better at finding the more interesting raptors and bigger critters. How do you get barn owls during the day? I have located some but they only seem to leave the barn at night.

Nice, one of the most common owls that people rarely see!
