    Wow. All i can think of is that I'd hate to be the prey to that predator.

    Nice shot of the Owl, and I belive this is a Great Horned Owl.

    Pretty sure if Wave01 said it is an eagle owl it is. I've seen them in the UK, flown by falconers. They are big and their talons are huge, definitely good hunters. Do a search for "eagle owls" or "European Eagle owls" to learn more. The Great Horned owl is sort of the North American equivalent.

    Very nice portrait. I love those big eyes, and the defocused BG. Best, Pam
