Me 'n Barney

As it's a new year, and as a comparative newby, I thought it time I 'introduced' myself. But so you wouldn't have to look at just my ugly mug I included a nodding acquaintance of mine. This was taken in a dark night of last February while I was helping to net and ring [band] owls on a farm near me. I felt extremely privileged to be able to hold and pose with this genuinely wild Barn Owl.

Sheesh Steve! I had no idea you were an Owl! You never told me. Who's the guy holding you. Nice pic...I can't figure out how you can even hold a camera.

Hi, Steve.... I have no idea what the normal disposition of this type of Owl would be, but this guy seems to be putting up very little fight. It's always nice to see a picture of members here on Caedes. You've got a great smile! Nice to meet you! Wen

Nice to meet the man behind wonderful photos of fauna and flora - the wildlife man - that is how I would call you Steve and truly it is not a surprise for me you are holding this wild Barn Owl.

Nice to see you, and i envy you as well, I have had the privalage to fly birds of prey in the past but to get to interact with truly wild ones is very special.

Plainly the barn owl does not find you repulsive! Great shot. What a fun moment. May I ask, why were the owls being "banded"? Sounds interesting.
