There are times when not only people can look grumpy if disturbed. This Owl sure didn't leave any room for doubt about having it's picture taken....it's nest is in the bush behind our house. :)

He/she is beautiful. Can you hear him hoot at night?

What an awesome picture!!!

whooooooooo took the picture? I love his (her?) expression.

Yes we hear her/him hooting at night, kind of a haunting sound when all is quiet. Loretta, we used a zoom lens to get that picture, at first we didn't think there was anyone in the nest and then this head popped up... guess Owls don't like being disturbed during the daylight hours. :) This one is a Horned Owl.

Fantastic pictures, thanks for sharing shadow..you have a very talented husband!! Or did you take them - if so that you got talent too!!

Beautiful picture! Thanks for sharing!

An amazing picture. I bet thats mom sitting on eggs..........she sure tooks ticked off :wink:

Wow! Great photo, maybe the "grumpy" part is simply over having to see all that sunshine in the day time?

:lol: Nope, he/she doesn't look like a very happy camper at the moment.

But it's pretty!
