Long-eared Owl in Central Park, NYC


David Lei
A relaxed long-eared owl resting on a tangle of dead vines at dawn. (A couple weeks ago in Central Park, New York) Photograph taken under ambient light, with scene brightened by camera settings and post-processing.

A magical moment at night the other week with a long-eared owl in Central Park, New York. The lights in the background are from Fifth Avenue.
