This Owl took some finding. Eventually we found this bird at the edge of a vast Palm Plantation where some trees were being replanted. It is an impressive species with its grey facial mask. It is an endemic to Haiti and the Dominican Republic. I used very high ISO and no flash to reduce any disturbance to the bird.
