Getting close-up to nature

Got lucky this morning nice and bright after a few days of rain.

This Great Horned Owl was sitting on a fence enjoying the sun, never seen one in the open like this before.

Using the HX100V photo not cropped:

And one of my usual Bald Eagles also enjoying the sun. SFC no crop.
