Another Owl

This was taken during the same time period as my previous Owl posting. I think this is a female Screech Owl. It is amazing how small they really are.

They are gone now (at least I don't hear them anymore) but I hope they will return.
This is about a 50% crop.

Canon 7D
142mm 70-200 II 2.8 IS
1/250 f5.6
ISO 100
Triggered with a wireless remote.

C&C always welcome.

Very nice shot. I wish the tail was in the frame. But very good image.

Interesting little owl, good work catching him in a noctural setting. The dark background is inevitable for the situation, but does make the owl appear a bit two-dimensional. Still a fine photo!
