I've always wanted but never been able to get a shot of an owl, and only rarely have seen them. Last week I was visited by these two juvenile barred owls while staying with a friend! I went inside and got my camera but the humidity outside instantly fogged up my lens. This is the only shot I got and cleaned it up as best as I could.
They were exploring and screeching and gliding from tree to tree to practice their flying skills. So cool to see!
"Hey, get off of this rock! This is my rock!" The great blue heron was very uninterested in sharing its favorite fishing spot. Instead it bullied the black-crowned night heron until the other bird left. Great blue herons are never taught to share nicely, I guess.
I haven't been liking and sharing other people's photos as much of late (sorry), but I do appreciate you all. I'm not just puffin you up, either! Thanks.
