This is why I "need" a 500! This is a pretty heavy crop from my 1D with the 100-400 of a great horned owl in its nest. That stupid twig is in the way of a really decent shot, but still, it was really cool just to see one in person. This was shot at the Merced NWR in the central valley of California last month.
