I've recently returned from my autumn Yellowstone/Grand Teton tour. We saw several great horned owls, though this is the only one I got photos of, late one evening in the Tetons.
I hoped to get two more, as another photographer found two great horned owls outside Yellowstone (in Montana)...

For late summer that's not bad. Nice shot of the rabbit, and to see any sort of predation is pretty good.

Chad, a couple of the smaller species there are now referred to as "owlets," I think in part to avoid confusion with similar-sounding species names elsewhere. The locals actually refer to this one as the "Barred Owl," but it's officially known as the Barred Owlet. We obviously have a good...

I've just returned from my South Africa tour, where we had some good owl luck. I thought you guys might like to see a couple of the species we found. In total, we saw six different owl species, and got photos of most of them, including a couple I had never photographed before.
I woke up...

Very cool. Looks like you're in a gorgeous area and are in for quite an adventure.

Thanks guys. Here's one of the adults, stretching a bit on the same breezy afternoon.

Can't say I've ever seen a digiscoped BiF shot that good. Well done, Joe.
The first time I ever saw these was way down on Stewart Island, beyond New Zealand's South Island. I've never seen chicks or juveniles though.

Nice composition in that first shot, Rocky. Good job keeping the highlights in check, too.

Another from my Yellowstone trip. This great horned owl nest has been active most years since I first saw it in 2007 or so. Last year they took a break, so it was nice to see owlets in it again this spring. This was the first time I've ever had a chance to get all of the owlets out in the...

Love it. Great job capturing this moment.

Nice view of both shoulders, Rocky. Not easy to capture!

Tomorrow I'm heading out for my annual spring visit to Yellowstone. It's my favorite time of year to be in the park, and I'm fortunate to get nearly a month there this time. Most of the park is located in Wyoming, of course. However, a sliver is in Montana, as is our cabin and some of the...

Lovely! I just saw our first American goldfinch of the spring. Don't think we've had a tanager in the yard, so that's about as colorful as we get here.

Thanks Bob. Yes, I was on the head coach's launch, so I had a chauffeur. ;)

On Saturday I covered the Windermere Cup for UW. The featured races pitted the Huskies against the British National team crews. The British Men's Eight is the defending world champion, but the Huskies (ranked #1 collegiately in the US) held their own and lost only by a couple seats. The Husky...

Cool find! I had never even heard of these until last year, when one showed up in Yellowstone. Bird enthusiasts were going bonkers at the time.

Good job, Rocky. It can be really tough to find them there. Nice that you got one out on the maple!

Nice family portraits, Janice and Terry. So far, I've only had the privilege of photographing owlets in Yellowstone--great horned and great gray--but I have yet to get an adult and chick together.

I would agree with your assessment that there may be too much empty space (though this is due in part to an issue I mention below). However, I think you were smart to leave more room on the right side of the frame. Since the eagle is pointed that direction, the eye will naturally look...
