Beautiful day, friends, lifers and Owls!

We had a gorgeous day Saturday, if you stayed out of the wind. A great time getting together with the Zombie clan. We walked for hours. Wasn't till I got out of the car at home to realize how sore I am. Three lifers for me on this trip although the third I don't have a photo for, a harlequin duck, since it was so far out. A big shout out to Logan's birder friend. He was a good guide, very knowledgeable and took us with pin point accuracy to the Saw-whet owl.


1. First for me.

That owl looks like he's thinking some VERY uncomplimentary things about your parents! ;lol:

Thank you. Actually he seemed pretty chill about it but I am sure that is exactly what he was thinking.

Thanks Logan. Yeah sucks about the Harlequin but the Saw-whet was the real catch of the day.

Sounds like one great time and you got the photographs to prove it. That owl is just top notch.
