Thanks to Jobu Products for an awesome support kit. One of the main reasons this image is so freakin sharp! I have 2 full kits (used) for sale if anyone is interested.

This beauty was the third chick of the family, who was kicked out or fell out of the nest before I started visiting this location.

We would often see it about 80-100 yards away, but it was usually hidden in deep cover, too much for a good image.

On this day, some crows chased it off its perch as the owl ended up on this stump, which was quite a ways below our vantage point. It never stopped looking at us, and seemed to enjoy the attention!

We had some great fun with real and true Nature.

Thanks for looking!
