Congrat. Nicole. For me this is an exceptional picture and it sure deserve to be the best picture of the week.
While walking through the woods this morning I found this beautiful Barred Owl while looking through a tangle of twigs and trees I managed to grab a spot to focus best I could. I liked this quiet moment while he was perched on a low bended- arched branch. He was hunting, but occasionally looking up in the canopy for either prey or watching out for crows or hawks in the area.
