Lucky you!
& that owl didn't seem to care at all. Maybe it was too sleepy.
Got some birds as well (albeit not the newest pics): https://steemit.com/photography/@bossel/sea-mountain-sea-view-meer-berg-meer-blick-75

He had probably been up all night hunting. He was keeping a close eye on me, but didn't seem to feel threatened. Thanks for sharing your bird photos!

Cool Owl, I have a little bird doing a dance.

What a gorgeous photographs! I just love owls, they are incredible. Most of all I admire their ability to disguise themselves as a landscape :D
Here is my modest contribution - a small but very fast and careful bird. If I am not mistaken, it is a kingfisher. It was my the one ever photo I could take. In fact, I saw him 3 times in my life.

It does seem like we get so busy here that it gets difficult to get around to all the posts we would like to see! Are you recovering from your injuries?

Thank you for remembering this. I'm still not recovering, I have pain in the spine.
It is true that the activity here and that of our other life often exceeds our possibilities. I'm glad to see each other from time to time, and please forgive me for not doing it more often.

I would have been very excited to capture such wonderful owl images too @melinda010100 They certainly do know how to blend into their surroundings don't they? I'd better go and hunt out some images to do my own Feathered Friday blog. (U & R )

Thanks, dear friend! They are masters of camouflage. Seeing this guy makes me realize I could have easily walked past them many many times and just never saw them.

That is great find and very well spotted. The bird is almost unnoticable with the same colour as the tree bark.

Fantastic shots! How great to see one during the day! We have them out here too, but I don't hear them as often as I hear Barred owls. Those guys are everywhere.

We used to have a lot of barred owls around here, too. But I haven't heard one now in a few years. Seeing this guy makes me wonder how many I walk past during a day and never even see them. They are so well camouflaged.

Breathtaking photographs Melinda, nicely done.
I find owls to be very fascinating, and very intelligent. Owls are slow in flight, I think it's the barn owl that is the slowest and most quiet. The great horned owl is one massive owl, but despite the size, they don't weigh more than a few pounds at most. I saw one up close and personal a few months ago. Sadly it was in captivity, and I felt really bad for it, as I was able to sense that it was not happy in the slightest bit.
They have aerodynamics which allow them to use very little energy, and cut through the air very quietly, making them extremely efficient hunters. They dive bomb in a way, talons first, which delivers a bone crushing blow to their prey.
I'm commenting by way of the new desktop client eSteem Surfer 2, and everything is working great! :)
Thank you for giving me some pointers!

Great owl info, thanks! This one kept a very close eye on me as I moved around taking photos.
We all need to be doing 'did you know' pointers on our posts about some of the cool features about @eSteem and @eSteemapp. There must be other people who are missing out on some of the great things that eSteem has going for it!

My pleasure Melinda.
Absolutely I agree. Perhaps I'll work on a "did you know" post of sorts. I'll bet many people don't know you can paste links from your browser to your app, making it easy and quick to open a post and respond to it with the app. (Which is what I just did for this comment, because I work out of steemworld opening links much of the time with busy.org) This is certainly something many users might like to know, so I could put together a post with screenshots, tutorial posts :)

That would be fantastic! Tag me if you do it so that I don't miss it! If we look back in Discord help we will probably find lots of things that people have trouble with. And you know if one person is having trouble, so are other people.

It's Thursday here, too, but I get busy on Fridays with the Shadow contest, and I like to get FeatheredFriday up early enough so that people have a place to put their bird links! I can't wait to see yours!

How amazing! That's really a wonderful birdie to see all of a sudden. And like you said, he was hardly visible. Lucky he flew, so you were able to spot him and take these great photos!
I love Owls! I only ever saw one myself as a child, and it sat on a roof at night. Otherwise I only heard them sometimes at night. I wish one would visit our garden ;-)
Have a lovely day @melinda010100 !

Cool! I've seen owls from far away, but never gotten close enough for a photo. Well, except once at night when a barred owl flew within a couple feet of my head and scared me half to death. Very nice portraits of the hooter!

I still can't believe he sat there and let me take pictures! He was still there when I left. Maybe he was planning a nap in the sunshine.
