Another shot of the Owl Family! Here is a photo of the mother Barred Owl! She is either giving me a High Five or showing off her razor like claws to warn me not to get to close to her babies!

WOW! Great photo! She’s beautiful!
Excellent capture of this beautiful owl. Like how it blends in with it’s surroundings. Great eye, amazing that you even saw it.
Good catch, prefer to go with the “High Five”, recognizing your presence and a little more comfortable with it.
These are absolutely amazing. I don’t know why - but I didn’t think owls came out during the day. Excellent!
it’s probably “you mess with me and I’ll scratch your eyes out”. very cool capture.
lol! if you hadn’t mentioned that i wouldn’t have seen it, but that sure is one odd pose you caught.. makes me smile.. nice catch!
i think she is showing you the claw!!! she can’t control the claw, it’s coming to get you! raaaawwrrrr the claaaawwwww!!! hehe neat shot
LOL I better be careful then!
the dead sea scrolls are supposedly tossed out parts of the Bible, but I’m not sure I buy that lol
Excellent photo shot!
excellent capture
This is so pretty. What a peaceful spot to sleep.
Super shot, perhaps its a mix of both, a high five with a warming dont come closer I have claws
That is too funny, Andy. I’m going with the High Five
Watch out, she’s warning you. Great capture.
That is too funny.
I like seeing the owl’s face so well. The setting of trees gives the shot an interesting colorcast. Fine image.
the owl looks so calm and thinking about something… beautiful catch, nice colors!
What a beautiful capture and one of my favourite birds. You know, the one and only time I have ever seen an owl in person was in a scene similar to this. Only it was right in the middle of the downtown in a small area of trees.
A successful shot. Bravo!
I think she’s just waving at you
What a beautiful creature!
I think it was giving you a warning maybe we will never really know great shot very well hidden there
Truly a wonderful composition. Excellent capture of this beautiful moment !!
very nice shot, looks like he is saying hello to you !
this picture is awesome! the vibrant colors of the leaf and the contrast with the subject is just perfect
Cool, he’s greeting you!
Beautiful markings on the bird. I wonder if they taste like chicken
Beautiful !!
Awesome owl shots, Andy! High five!!
