Green-tailed Towhee. Convict lake, Eastern Sierra, CA.
There were plenty of this species around, but tough to get a decent image. I got lucky here when this bird lingered in the shrubs around the Lake for a just a few shots.

Fledgling Great Horned Owl.

I've had many opportunities to photograph Owls. Almost always I end up choosing an image with the Owl looking directly at the camera. The reality is that this is only a very brief moment in the time you spend with the Owl. During the day they are most often sleeping. As evening approaches they become more active and spend more time surveying their soundings. This image represents a more natural moment.
