Great Horned Owl female in a granary window – Nikon D200, tripod mounted, f6.3, 1/250, ISO 400, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light, not baited
I love the combination of owls and old wooden buildings such as barns or granaries so when I get a chance to photograph them in that type of setting I jump at the opportunity. This female Great Horned Owl was resting at the opening of an old granary in Glacier County, Montana when I photographed her. I especially enjoy how her ear tufts are clearly visible, the great eye contact and the lovely view of her back.
Owls are a favorite subject for me anywhere I find them.
Life is good.

Thanks for your comments Susan, Bob, Jane and Sherry. This Great Horned Owl was fun to photograph!
I love that you can see both her face and the lovely patterns she has on her back at the same time!
I like the rusty brown highlights.Great shot of a beautiful bird.
Perfect shot, Mia! Love the details in her feathers and the wood grain.
I love her, she look like a statuette, well done Mia.
Wonderful post and photo Mia:)
