This afternoon I felt I must try harder! I wanted an owl.
What did I find? A few gulls circling in an agitated manner. Several dozen doves were very calm and collected. Then maybe more than 100 gulls flew over, probably on their way to the city dump?
There are photos, but I'll skip them tonight. I settled back and began to prepare to call it a day. Clouds were covering the sun so I didn't even get a shot at sunspots. But like "Kim's game" the scene in front of me was somehow different from what it had been before the gulls had distracted me. But what? So I used binoculars to scan the snow bank. And there it was, a new arrival. I got out of the car and took a quick "documentary" photo. And then I relaxed and took some more.
Here are the initial 3 shots:
Between the 2nd and 3rd photos I changed my position slightly to get the owl in front of a background tree, (I moved a few feet, my 2 feet, to the east so the owl!s position shifted to the right, How boring.)
I think the owl has been through this before:
I hope I'll see her again,
WOB
