As I wish for more snow, here's a throwback to one of my favorite autumn photographs.

New River Gorge National Park

Victor & Olga were Eastern Screech Owls that were cared for at Three Rivers Avian Center in Brooks, WV. They care for injured birds of prey and return them to the wild if possible. They do two fundraisers a year in the form of photography workshops. You get to photograph beautiful birds of prey, learn about them, all while helping support a wonderful organization. I am a lover of owls. I'm so lucky and happy to have captured this precious moment.

I found the scariest of all my photos! This is a Screech Owl pair that were in the middle of their yearly molt. Adding to the the scary look, I photographed them way before sunrise so their pupils were still fully dilated!

They're still adorable to me! 🥰

'Bandit' the 15 day old Southern boobook owl and "Gandalf the 24 day old tawny frogmouth. Their growth rate is nothing short of magic!
