After two months of staying in due to my knee injury, I took my camera out, hoping to spot a snowy owl after seeing three the day before. Instead, I saw my first barred owl ever. It stayed still, focused on hunting, a reminder that luck and patience often lead to magical wildlife moments. #birds 🪶

So, first day out with the news lens and wow, what a learning curve. Bigger diameter makes it more cumbersome to hold for a long time and finding the subject is more difficult, even at 400mm. But what a difference in image clarity, compared to the old one. What do you think? #birds
