I know that I said yesterday was pretty quiet. Well compared to this morning yesterday was pure chaos. I’m not kidding – when I started out the only sound I heard was a couple of crickets. Fortunately I managed to pull off a couple of decent shots. Today’s featured image is a Great Horned Owl who was on what I can only call its favorite perch. Luckily the Sun had popped out for a second making it possible to get a good focus on this sleepy owl. I did also manage to get a new bird for my personal list – a Least Sandpiper pictured below. And the Osprey and Cormorants were available for some filler shots.
