 Not sure how old but likely in the 4-5 week range, getting fairly large, wings look to be getting near 18"s or so. Likely it will start learning to fly soon and I am hopeful to get some shots of it as it branches out to learn to fly. This shot is deceptive because it appears I am fairly level with the bird but in reality I am quite a ways down, this little guy was just so intent on watching me that it was leaning out and looking down which gave it a nice level look.

Natural moments in the wild might even attract an 8.

What I like - gorgeous owl, great natural setting, blue sky, bokeh

What I don't like - that branch, but there's not much you could have done about it.
