Cold

So at work it was cold cold and double cold.

I had just missed this shot of a bald eagle and was kicking myself for how I went about getting it. I finished up my work and was heading out of the mouth of Hells Canyon when I spotted this owl. This time I went up the road a ways, got my tripod out on the camera and got a few good shots in.

This is about 70 yards away.

Pentax K-5 with a 55 to 400 mm lens.. and the pic is cropped to bring the owl in closer.




Now it's about 8 degrees f outside... and it's in the top of a 35 foot tree or there abouts.

Awesome pic.
I don't think that's an owl though....looks like a Harrier hawk.

Nice shot Downhill :)

Definitely not an owl, but I'm no good with raptor ID.

Maybe a red-tailed hawk?
