Congrats, looks like a Screech Owl. You did pretty good given the low light.

That's pretty cool. I'd like to have an owl around here, but I don't think the rabbits that live in my backyard would feel the same way about it.  | | | | |

Take your darkest image and put it in PS. Select Image - adjustments - shadows/highlights. Play with the sliders. See if you can't bring this owl to life. | | | | |
