Great sighting, poor light

Another last-minute invitation - how lucky I am - so I will be out for the whole day today. My alarms were set for just after 5:00 a.m. and I overslept till 6:00 a.m., after finally getting to bed around 2:30 a.m.! Shouldn't even be on my computer! Anyway, will have to add descriptions when I get back home. Will just add that this is a grainy image - poor light for my point-and-shoot, and taken from a car window. Better than nothing, though : ) Quite often, when I take photos from inside the car, my photos just don't come out how they should and I'm never quite sure exactly why. The car was turned off, but maybe there was still some heat rising from it. Thanks so much for the invite and for spotting this Short-eared Owl, Phil!
