It took several attempts, but I finally tracked down Bill's owls in Yost Park this afternoon. Big thanks to Bill for his pointers! Here's a preview image. I'll post more owl pics along with a couple other critters I've photographed there in recent weeks in a separate thread soon.

Nice series, Joe. Kingfishers are tough! Africa is the only place I've been where they're not that shy. Everywhere else it seems they're very difficult to close to without a blind.

Nice job getting close, Rocky. When I'd take my photo classes to the Arboretum I'd always look for these, but they're really hard to find there. I've seen plenty of them in the tropics, but it would be nice to get a shot like this locally.

Bill, I did finally make it to Yost yesterday (after striking out on great horned at Nisqually). No luck. I did the entire main loop while exploring many of the off-shoot trails as well. No owls spotted or heard (the latter doesn't surprise me, as they were likely napping). It was my first...
Should have, Bill. I struck out at Discovery. Tomorrow I'll head down to Nisqually to look for the great horned nest there. Maybe if I get done early I can make a detour to Yost on the way back.

I'm cheating a bit. This was from my recent Costa Rica tour. One of the highlights was finding and photographing a pair of courting ferruginous pygmy owls. I'd seen, but failed to photograph this species on past trips, so it was great to finally get it in the open with a little daylight...
I've seen some photos of leucistic owls before. Not all white, but with some white plumage here and there. I wonder if it's something similar in this case.
