Long Eared Lifer!
What an amazing find and sight. I've never been able to find one of these guys in the wild and here one was sitting in a relative clearing in a coniferous tree. This Long Eared was constantly scanning the surrounding area (this park is loaded with squirrels) until finally it decided to close it's eyes and return to napping. Although large in the frame this is heavy crop for an A7RIV.
