Owl


Out and about before Sunrise...at the RipRap, heard Owl, Sentinel, across the Creek...crossed the Creek, and followed call, calls, Ponderosa calling too, to Flicker Grove...thought I made clip of both calling together...but newer camera didn't record calls...disappointing, as Owls were calling back and forth....too dark for pics...and sighted first Ponderosa fly over head back to the Creek, and Sentinel calls followed, and I crossed back over the Creek, and at Owl Woods, sighted both Owls again...and missed calls again in clips...pic of Ponderosa too dark, and pic of Sentinel up, very grainy...was going to call post, Black Eyed Owl...very cool to see Owl with pupils dilated all the way...picked up, and at the Merced, Ozone Beach, sighted Mama Doe and Two Fawns upriver at Cottonwood Bend...clip for sometime...sunny blue with thunder clouds in the west at dawn, thundershowers later in the afternoon, clear tonight....at Lunch: sat awhile at Ozone Beach...Ouzel, Robin, Bluejay, Flicker call, and lots of Ravens...quiet...friend heard Owls too at Flicker Grove, and asked if Owls always there....I dont know if Owls are about in July and August, two months I have no pics or reports...I suspect Owls dont call much in Spring and Summer....
