Hour-Long Owl

Another cloudless sunrise on Monte Sano.  Fortunately, I saw this owl on my hike up the Bankhead Trail.  And he/she stayed there for at least an hour.  I got to photograph it going up the mountain and — again — on my way back down.  If I were a real bird photographer, I'd have gotten the big lens and hiked by up there.

In Monte Sano State Park, Huntsville, Alabama.
