Pearl Spotted Owlet (Correction: African Barred Owlet)
I came across this little Africa barred owlet early one morning on safari. There were actually two of them in the tree and they were probably just heading out to hunt (unlike many owls they are active during the day). They live throughout sub-Sahara Africa and are only about 7 to 8 inches tall. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/200th of a second
What a combination of equipment and talent! And perseverance. Here you have somehow managed to keep the owl prominent even with all that brightness in the background.
It’s been a while since you published this photograph, so I’m wondering if you’ll pick up on my comment… Anyhow, this is a misidentification – your beautiful picture is of an African Barred Owlet

“Early bird gets the worm.” Or, in your case, the shot. Love the sunlight on the tail. Very nice.
