## Caption

For the past few months I’ve had the goal of photographing a Great Horned Owl in Rocky Mountain Arsenal. As someone with very little patience this was a hard & frustrating task, but patience & determination persevered as I got my shot last night. The Owl pictured is actually a different Owl from the one I’ve been trying to photograph as a few months before my Girlfriend summere4 spotted a nest (best spotter around) with an Owl in it. I have been sitting outside the tree line for the past few months just waiting for it to take flight so I could get a better shot, but every time I sat waiting, the Owl continually sat in it’s nest out of my camera’s reach. Back to last night, as I was driving through the refuge I spotted a dark shadow in a different set of trees than the other Owl’s nest so I decided to stop. As I got closer & saw what was in the trees I had to contain my excitement as I didn’t want to scare the Owl off. I finally got my shot of this elusive stoic creature. Wildlife photography can be time consuming often leading to zero results, but when you finally get that shot, you will be rewarded greatly. . .
