Keep your eyes and ears open. Sometimes you do not have to fly to remote destinations to see amazing things. Two nights ago in our back yard, we noticed that our daily visitors had returned, and it seems they waited while I fumbled with my Google Pixel-2 XL. The smartphone’s camera has a “night sight” feature, so these barred owls waited patiently until I finally clicked the shutter button to produce this . . .
For the past few weeks, between 8 and 8.15pm, this pair shows up. They perch in various locations near our back patio. We stare at them. They stare at us. Now we have small evening “Owl Watch” parties when the neighbors join us to see the feathered creatures.
May All of Your Travels Be Happy and Safe!
