Nice sighting. Some more brightness would have been good. I love their eyes and their raised horn like ears. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Usually owls prefer the same perches, so the guides and naturalists are usually aware about where to find them . Nice eye contact. Some noise due to the high ISO. Thanks for sharing.
