Last winter i was calling for coyote's just at sunset, i was tucked into the low-branches of a pine-tree using distress'd rabbit,and an owl (unknown flavor) came gliding in and sat on branch just a foot away from me and sat there trying to determine what noise was, then silently took flight again after he seen me move a little,, if i hadn't seen the flutter out of the corner of my eye of feathers i would have NEVER have known he was there !! Its take-off/landing was completely silent !! Amazing birds,, awesome pics thx for sharing....
