Barn Owl Revisited

Posted by Monte Stevens (Westerville, United States) on 21 August 2009 in Animal & Insect.

If you were an owl, would you want to be called ‘Monkey-face?’ However there is some semblance. The more I wade into the stream of photogaphy the more I want to know about the subjects I see in the view finder. Yes, people may compliment me on an image but what do they think about the subject? I love the light on this Barn Owl and how it is facing the light, it makes for a fine image. But, what else?

With the ease of the internet, I've begun to snoop around to find out about the subjects I photograph. You can follow this link to a good article on Barn Owls. I did not realize the short life expectancy of Barn Owls, 1-2 years. Nor did I know about there different calls.
