Environment:
Start Time: 3:25 PM Temperature: 57 degrees Sky: Mostly sunshine.
Today’s start was a bit late but at least I got out on the trail. Morning temperatures have been a bit too cold for my old bones for sure. Though I didn’t see a lot of birds this evening I can say that the ones I captured were Great. Pictured here is a Great Blue Heron that seemed to be settled for the night. The Great Horned Owls that start and end this post are (I believe) the two adult Owls that were raising a family in the old hawk nest earlier this Spring. They were in separate trees but were engaged in conversation. Mom has the featured slot (and the prettiest background) while Dad is holding down the fort in a more Winter-ready tree.
