Yesterday I posted two crabs photographed down on the shoreline of Santa Cruz island in the Galapagos. This barn owl was photographed on the same island, but inland and way up in the highlands. He/she was perched just outside our tent, curiously watching us for awhile before flying off. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/60th of a second, two Nikon SB-900 flash units

Nice! Barn owls have the scariest calls of all owls, oftentimes used as scary screeches in horror movies.
