We went to BirdFest at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain GA this past weekend. What a great chance to get up close to some beautiful birds.

Second photo was a harris's hawk, third photo was a Ornate Hawk-Eagle, the first owl is a great horned owl, the second owl is a barn owl I believe and the last is a black vulture.

The photos of owls flying just barely over people's heads are special!

Wow, these are all awesome!

Not a Barn Owl but a Barred Owl, probably the most common owl in North America. Its only enemy is the larger Great Horned Owl.
