Moonlight Owl (Great Horned) N Saanich

The Great Horned Owl above was seen this evening just before dark... The almost full May moon was  rising  up in the sky and perhaps added a hint of glow, but the images were shot at high ISO and super slow shutter speeds.  None the less, I'll take what I can get when an Owl shows up (This one has at least 1 baby which made sharp rasping calls to let the parent know where it was and that it was hungry.)  I observed this beautiful bird silently flying through the trees in search of prey, but other than these 2 locations for a brief time, only fleeting glimpses.  
* Thank you very much to the people who have the acreage where these birds live and for the invitation! ***
