bird photography : barred owl
$caption = "Walking the nature trail at Paynes Prairie near Gainesville, FL, John and Beth overheard the unmistakable call of 'Who-cooks-for-you? Who-cooks-for-you-all?' and knew a Barred Owl lurked somewhere nearby. They expected the owl to be difficult to spot given the lush green foliage, but Beth found him only a few feet away right on the edge of the path! In fact, the owl was so close by that John could barely fit him into the frame of his 420mm lens.";
