I have been a photographer my entire life from about age 14 until now and have been very fortunate to see many extraordinary moments in time. This image is the first time I have ever seen anything like it. This barred owl was roosting in a tree and fell asleep it rested its chin on an adjacent branch and continued sleeping.
Parenting must be going exhausting for this poor owl!
Hey, he didn’t know there was a camera there! Hang on, hang on he’s got a bad@%$ owl pose he’s been working on! Give him just a second to - hey, you’re not posting that one?! Aw maaaan! Dave’s gonna give him so much crap now! Wait, look! See! He’s ready now. Here he is all spooky and every- awww c’mon!
I was just resting my eyes!
