Sorry for the delay, I started to feel sick last night so I’ve been asleep half the day. I didn’t get to either post I wanted to do today, so just another picture post today. I’m feeling a bit better now, so hopefully tomorrow I’ll have some good stuff for you tomorrow.
Post photo taken in British Columbia.
Comment photos in Utah.
I went down to Nevada and Idaho to see my lifer Himalayan Snowcock and Cassia Crossbills. I ended up seeing both well but the highlight of the trip was getting a photo in Utah of a bird I’ve seen many times before in BC. I suck at night photography but read up on it and was finally able to get a decent record shot of a Flammulated Owl. While owling had at least 12 of these owls plus 3 Saw-whets and 3 Great-Horneds plus quite a few Common Poorwills. Every time I see a Flammie I can’t get over how tiny they are.
Your health is more important than sassy owl pictures ❤️ glad you are on the mend!
Also, this guy looks like he wants to have some words about being woken up, and I love it.
I picked him since we had the same expression this morning. I just have a sinus infection I think, so it’s just discomfort. I’m still gradually getting better, but the owls cheer me up to!
whelp… maybe I can help with that… Owl livestreams, if you haven’t seen them. (the snowy owls are currently on camera,)(edit: so are the great grays)
hope you feel better soon.
Mrs Grey has a funny booty wiggle to reposition herself on the eggs! 🥰
The Snowy highlights were neat too. I don’t know how long the highlight reel covers, but Mr Snowy looks to be a very successful hunter. Mrs Snowy always looks so excited when he got back with something.
Thanks for sharing those!
