Not one owl, but Two!

I went in search of owls at Mead Gardens and was successful. I found two barred owls snuggling on a high branch. It wasn't the best light conditions for a great photo but I did the best I could. I moved around as much as I dared without having them fly off. They didn't seem to mind me being there. I was happy to have captured my first owls that weren't in captivity.

I was invited to tag along  with a friend and an experienced birder at the Orlando Wetlands Park. I was using my camera on a monopod and upped the ISO due to the overcast conditions. As the clouds dissipated I lowered the iso to 400. I think the overcast conditions help with bird photography for the most part. I can acutally get some images of the smaller birds with the bigger lens.
