Hunting

Last night as we had a late dinner on the back deck, we kept hearing a very strange "screeching" noise.  There were definitely two different birds talking, but neither Bill nor I could figure out what the sound belonged to.  All of a sudden I caught a movement and saw an owl fly into one of the oak trees.  It was the strangest owl sound either of us remember ever hearing.  Of course I had to get the camera out.  Unfortunately light was fading and I was at the end of my lens and still have to crop in quite a bit.  We never did see the second one, but he did do one very fine pose for me before tiring of the camera.

I was able to get a couple other nice shots of him, but this being the most traditional photo.
