Visited a friend today, who is also into photography, who's wife shows birds, including these two owls. Had a blast and will be going back to get the other seven birds soon. Here is a couple form today. JIMBO

What terrific shots of the owls Jim. Did you use any kind of extender or just the 70-200 by itself?

No just the 70-200. I was only a few feet away. Thanks BBB.

Now that would be interesting. I could feel his grip through the glove. I am sure I could get through that. Cheers JIM
