Tried the Neat Image Demo for noise filtration on this. Excerpts from Wikipedia: Northern Hawk Owl (Surnia ulula)is a medium sized owl. The term "hawk" refers to its falcon-like wing shape and long tail. It is the only living species in the genus Surnia. The species is sometimes called simply the Hawk Owl; however, many species of owls in the Ninox genus are also called hawk owls.This bird is 35-43 cm long with a 69-82 cm wingspan. It has a rounded head with yellow eyes, dark brown upperparts and barred underparts and tail. The song is a bubbling lulululu.It is found in the boreal forests of North America and Eurasia, usually on the edges of more open woodland. This bird nests in large tree cavities or uses nests abandoned by other large birds. (Subject on hunting mood) Canon EOS 1D Mk II N + 100-400 L IS, handheld Location: open field along Grand Valley Road, Cochrane Alberta February 12, 2010 Thanks for looking.

Beautiful, Ed!! Great timing and exposure! Neat Image output looks good, I might try using it again. Never done NR for a while already on my photos. What level of NR did you use on this?

One in a million shot. You have truly captured the "Moment". You got the shape, color, and beautiful pose of this bird. I like the hairy legs. Truly a great capture. Thank you for sharing. Well done Ed. Mabuhay.
