Great Horned Owl Photo
This photo was taken on April 17th, 2005 at Lake Thompson. This was taken right around dawn on a very foggy, gloomy morning, so I didn't have a lot of ambient light to work with, but it turned out pretty well. I drove by what was a Double-crested Cormorant colony last year, and found it empty, except for this guy perched on the top of one of the dead trees out in the water. I snapped a few shots, and drove on.
Later that morning on my way back, I found him/her again...sitting on top of one of the former Cormorant nests!! Weird place for a nest for these guys, as the tree is at least 50 yards out into the water. Taken with Canon 20D, 400 5.6L lens.
