believe it or not.. monopod... i had no time to get the tripod out.. and this was in the rain no less.

i usually shoot the 500/4 handheld.. actually now i can't remember.. i have shot the barred in the past with the monopod + 600/4

Great shot Bob, is it a wild or captured owl?

wild... this one had been hanging out in the same area for a couple of months.. so at high tide (brings the voles and mice up near the road) i would drive by (dawn or dusk) and have a look.. i wasn't lucky enough to find this one feeding on something although many had..  this morning he/she was right by the side of the road, light rain very little light that's why ISO=8000

its actually kind of interesting as folks would drive by and not see it.. they blend in really well.... some would stop and ask me what i was photographing and i would point and say "the owl".. and they would double take.

Nice shot. I have always loved the face expressions owls are capable of.
