\"AmericanAmerican Barn Owl flying near a hill – Nikon D300, f6.3, 1\/2000, ISO 500, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4 TC at 400mm, natural light, not baited or called in<\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted to share a few more American Barn Owl images this morning that I like. Even though the owl is small in the frame in this file I like it because it shows more of the owl’s habitat than a close up would.<\/p>\n

\"AmericanAmerican Barn Owl flying close up – Nikon D300, f7.1, 1\/1000, ISO 500, +1.3 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4 TC at 400mm, natural light, not baited or called in<\/span><\/p>\n

And this one is a close up of a American Barn Owl flying past me, I get more of a sense of the size of the bird and a great look at its very dark eye.<\/p>\n

\"AmericanAmerican Barn Owl perched on a post – Nikon D300, f6.3, 1\/2500, ISO 500, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4 TC at 400mm, natural light, not baited or called in<\/span><\/p>\n

Perched American Barn Owl images might not be as dynamic as those when the owl’s are in flight but I enjoy how this shows the owl’s shape, plumage patterns, the profile of the face and just a hint of blood on the owl’s bill.<\/p>\n

\"AmericanAmerican Barn Owl flying over a snowy wetland – Nikon D300, f7.1, 1\/1600, ISO 500, +0.7 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4 TC at 400mm, natural light, not baited or called in<\/span><\/p>\n

I love the pose as well as the background in this image, the great view of the talons and the look in the bird’s eyes.<\/p>\n

American Barn Owls fascinate me, perched, in flight, asleep or huddled against the cold.<\/p>\n
