While on route running an errand and glancing at the boulevard trees as driving something caught my eye which seemed a bit off. Being on a residential street I was able to hit the brakes and the 4-way flashers at the same time…grabbed the binoculars that live under the seat and had a look-see.

Surprise, Surprise another Owl…much smaller than a Great Gray for sure. These owls are definitely The Masters when it comes to Camouflage.
The Eastern Screech-Owl had found a comfortable place to roost for the day in this large cavity…appears it may have been a One Day Wonder and haven’t seen it for a couple days.

Maybe time to go and do some cavity searching since it’s likely still in the area…just sayin !

Old n Forgotten…A Change of Pace

Many times during my travels I happen across some wonderful Old Buildings. They have now reached the end of their usefulness and simply left to fall apart over time.
I’m sure there would have been some interesting stories about those who lived there and the hardships they encountered.
Which makes me wonder if this old structure would have been some ones First One Room House…who knows.

Well when bird action is slow…I rely on Old and Forgotten Buildings which is definitely a change of pace from Owling.

Up Close and Personal

Exciting when the Stars Align and have everything fall into place…when Out-n-About in search of Great Grays.
They are referred to by many as Grays, Greys, Ghost of the Forest, Phantoms of the Forest even Mouse-Munchers.

It’s been a hit and miss kind of year and now as the season draws near with roughly a month of Winter Owling left.
