  Thank you, Christine. It was a pretty careless point-and-shoot session. I found it refreshing to have it easy for once, meaning pretty good light, ability to get close, etc :) Posted 7 years ago

    Nice! Usually they are up in a little nook hiding away during the day. I can never get good shots of the owls at zoos. Was this one brought out for people to see, or were you just super lucky? Posted 7 years ago

      Yes, this one was outside the cage on a caretaker's arm, showing it to kids. We stumbled upon it when exiting the zoo. Took this shot from quite a distance and cropped out the hand :) Posted 7 years ago
