Awesome? Yep. This photo of a Barn Owl certainly is....and it's exclusive for us. Our photographer illustrates his amazing ability...and patience... as he captures this moment. Can you imagine how many hours were spent before this photo "happened"?

The barn owl is the only bird with a face like this...so it is easy to identify. They are silent when flying and only weight one pound.They hunt by sound, rather than sight and can hear a mouse's heartbeat from 30 ft.
