This Barred Owl seems to frequent a neighbor’s backyard. Even with a tele-converter, it’s hard to get close enough for a good image in low light conditions. Since he hangs around the area, hopefully I’ll get more opportunities to capture a nice image. You would think that he would be easy to see against the white snow on the branches, but actually he really blends into the background. A good set of bins makes it easier.
