I've taken so many pictures of this owl last year and this, that he has appeared to have gotten very used to me. I can stand right under him now, as for this shot, and he doesn't seem to mind a bit. He continues to hunt through the night light with his eyes, and rarely even looks at me, even when I move about and flash. What is interesting, is the flashes don't even seem to bother his sight.
As I took a few pictures, another owl hooted in the distance.
