2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Strix varia/ Barred Owl, Gilsum, New Hampshire, United States of America
Backyard Barred Owl

Species: Strix varia/ Barred Owl | Location: Gilsum, New Hampshire, United States of America

This Barred Owl was a very welcomed resident to my yard this past winter. I had several opportunities to watch and photograph this magnificent bird. Most of the time he kept his distance from me, but this particular shot was captured about 50 feet away from my front door.

About The Photographer

I'm an amateur photographer residing in New Hampshire. I bought my first DSLR about 2 years ago and I haven't stopped capturing images since. I mainly shoot birds and my grandson, but happily shoot other wildlife and landscapes when the opportunity arises.
