Spotted Owl: The Prize of Miller Canyon

Getting back to my alphabetical series on my "5" Star Photos I have another Spotted Owl photo. This one too, was taken in Miller Canyon of the Huachuca Mountains in Southern Arizona. Miller Canyon is a very reliable "spot" to find a Spotted Owl. A pair of them has lived and nested in the canyon for years. Owners of the property where the trailhead begins (Tom Beatty) keeps track of the Owls on a daily basis. The Owls move from about 1/2 mile up the mountain to about 1 1/2 miles up the mountain. 

In the case below, I had passed it on my way up the trail, but as is often the case, returning on the same trail gives a totally different angle and often success.
