For owls that are superb.

From Anthony J Dixon

My last shot of my last visit to see the fledgling Barn Owls on Saturday evening. I'm not sure how many more visits get in before they leave the roost for good, or if indeed get any more in. If this is to be the last image of these beautiful birds, then it feels poignant...

Just as the sun was going down this handsome male who I've become rather attached to, flew straight towards me and over my head with the colours of the days end behind him. Almost felt like goodbye and if that is to be the case, then it was a truly wonderful ending to the story of my summer..

Again, that wingspan is impressive. Stunning photo, and the description made my heart ache, just a bit. Goodbyes aren't always easy, even if it's time and just right.

It is always bittersweet watching animal babies grow up. I know I always wonder where they've gone and if they are safe.

I was very happy to see the Hilton Head GHO has returned. I'm hoping to get to watch some new owlets grow up again. It was a lot of fun to watch them, and momma owl still looks great herself.

Go for it!

I love seeing everyone's individual touch on how to take photos.

I really enjoyed the color palate in this one.
