This is a capture of the Mother Great Horned Owl..same bird from posting a week back. She is out of nest as her babies are getting bigger. She is in a tree about 20 yards from nest...about 40-50 ft up. I have cropped this image and edited it some. Taken with Nikon D50 fitted with Tamron 70-300 lens set at 250mm. Shutter at 1/640 aperture at F/5.6 and ISO 800.

Look at those eyes! You couldn't get closer than that without spooking her, I bet. Neat post of her sitting on that tree branch. Nice find, Gerry.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

amazing Gerry! it looks like she is very alert and aware that you are taking her photo! Love the expression on her face - like a warning I suppose! great capture!

Good job, my friend. Must have been a real thrill to be able to get even this close to that magnificent bird..
