First year barred owl

First year barred owl

I have hours of videotape interacting with this wild owl that I raised in 2004, the year after my beloved "Mo" passed away. I would like to think this bird was Mo's little spirit coming to tell me that eveything is ok and he is waiting for me on the other side. This pic is a still captured from videotape and while this is not a clean, technically perfect shot, I believe it captures the essense of this animal who graced me with his presence for over four months.
