A watchful eye
I overslept this morning, so I will have to finish my descriptions and tags later this afternoon. I'm going to have to post and run.
Yesterday, 26 November 2016, friends and I were so very lucky. On a walk in Fish Creek Park, we found not only an owl, but two owls, and different species - this Great Horned Owl and a teeny, popcan-sized Northern Pygmy-owl. It had been almost two years since I last saw a Northern Pygmy-owl. That one, also, had been seen in Fish Creek Park. Yesterday, it was near the top of a very tall tree, so my photo (3rd photo posted today) was fully zoomed and cropped and posted just for the record.
The Great Horned Owl, however, was seen nice and low and out in the open. The bird was large and fairly pale, so we think it was probably a female. After taking a few photos through the trees, we continued our walk and I was able to get a few shots from a different angle, just before she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Will add our leader's list of bird species seen, in a comment box below. We split into two groups, so not everyone saw everything on the list. My group only saw one Northern Pygmy-owl, not two.
