Pueo or Hawaiian Owl

Well, it's been sometime since I posted anything new! Haven't really caught up with editing and processing images and not shooting anything new in terms of subjects, except for this image captured a little over two weeks ago in Moloaa. It's a Pueo or Hawaiian Owl and they seem to hunt mostly in the early morning and late evenings, although I did see one mid-afternoon and late morning (different days) at the lighthouse. That mid-afternoon sighting gave me the spark to check out the Moloaa area, where a few people have told me of recent sightings and that area is just a nice, mellow area, except for the speeding cars. There's also old stories of obake's (ghost) too, but that is for another day!
