I discovered one of the barred owl nests in the local nature preserve and I have got some good opportunities for shots lately.

See that last shot? It's a nest. If you hang around near the nest and play owl calls, the male will fly over and investigate who's messing with his woman and eggs.

Are these hosted anywere where I can "like" them on Facebook? I would like to show this one to others without blatantly stealing and re-posting it to Facebook (As in hey I found this photo online and I like it). And they are folks that I would not steer to Ar15.com.
