Birds Great-horned Owl with Sony Smartphone App Remote Release

[sswildlife]

Last evening, I had a great encounter with one of my friendly office Great-horned Owls. I was able to use the Sony smartphone app as a remote release and setup at a nice spot. I'm really liking that app. I've tried to use it for more shy subjects (i.e. Kingfishers) to setup my camera and tripod and hide ~20-30 feet away. That was the plan for this guy, but he has grown so used to me over the past year I didn't even need to step away.
