Environment:
Start Time: 6:30 AM Temperature: 33 degrees Sky: Mostly sunshine.
Activity today was mostly Osprey (fishing and nest repairs) and Blue Jays being very vocal and going after the Cottonwood Flowers which are everywhere. One of those Jays landed the featured image slot up top. Pictured below is one of the Osprey escorting a very nice catch over the park. I managed to make two passes past the Great Horned Owl nest this morning. On my first visit only Mom was visible. I imagine she was keeping her little ones warm in the cool morning air. When I came back a while later she was out of the nest and perching off to the side and the two siblings were looking around quietly. I did not see Dad anywhere.
