Ken, it was a quarterback shot, front and center.  So lucky am I.

This has to be a one-off due to the heavy fog near the Payette today.  I couldn't believe my eyes, and got so excited I'll probably need to get my car interior detailed! 

 I had zero connectivity, in auto route trolling mode, and was watching the hunters leave, the red tails playing, and the fog roll in when I found it.  Crikey, what a big owl!  Roosting about 3 ft off the ground.  I didn't linger, no longer than the time to get 3 photos.  I made a u-turn after the hunters had left and it was still there, preening!

To be as quasi precise as a sensitive species sighting is allowed, this was in Gem County, Montour WMA, about .5 mile or so from the Payette River.  Someone tell me if I need to do anything else, or less than.
