Did anyone see what I caught?
The finest of feathers

A different Great Horned Owl
On Sunday afternoon, 22 March 2015, I went on a very enjoyable two and a half hour walk at Carburn Park, with birding friends. The weather was good and the company was perfect.
The Great Horned Owl in this photo is, I believe, an owl that was new to me. I don't remember seeing this male, just the female, last year. This one was sitting on guard duty from a tree that was quite a long way from his mate, but he still had a good, clear view of her.
I'll add the list of sightings we had, for my own memory, put together by the leaders of the group:
1. Canada Goose-60
2. American Wigeon-1 m.
3. Mallard-55
4. Bufflehead-60
5. Common Goldeneye-60
6. Common Merganser-7
7. Bald Eagle-2
8. Ring-bill Gull-30
9. Calfornia Gull-30
10.Herring Gull-1
11. Rock Pigeon-3
12. Great Horned Owl-2
13. Downy Woodpecker-8
14. Hairy Woodpecker-1
15. Northern Flicker-5
16. Black-billed Magpie-14
17. American Crow-2
18. Common Raven-8
19. Black-capped Chickadee-5
20. Red-breasted Nuthatch-1
21. White-breasted Nuthatch-1
22. American Robin -4
23. House Finch-3
24. House Sparrow-10+
25. Great Blue Heron
After the walk, four of us went for coffee at Tim Hortons - always as enjoyable as the walk itself, if not more so : )
