Young Great Horned Owls: Morning Walk, April 24
While walking through the frisbee gold course across the street in the morning, we happened to see a family of Great Horned Owls, first time I had ever seen in the wild. The parents were off a ways watching, the two young ones were very high up in the largest tree on the course. Got several good photos below all shot with similar settings at ISO 100 and 400mm. We did run the images through Topaz Sharpen AI using a Standard setting of 14% to sharpen them up a bit as these were all hand held photos pretty far away. Years ago at Indiana Dunes I remember reading about the Great Horned Owl in one of their exhibits. It said that their night vision was so good that they could hunt inside the Lucas Oil Stadium with only a single candle lit in the stadium. Unbelievable night vision! 1/500, f8, ISO 100, 400 mm 1/200, f7.1, ISO 100, 400 mm 1/320, f6.3, ISO 100, 400 mm 1/320, f6.3, ISO 100, 400 mm
