I love birds. Especially birds of prey.

Owls are such a unique type of birds. I have not had many opportunities to photograph them in the wild.

However, I have had opportunities to see them up close in other circumstances.

It is really fun to get to look at them so close up. Being able o study them and see their mannerisms.

Creating these nice close up photographs of these owls was really a fun experience.
