I’m feeling pretty under the weather today, so, in spite of reports of some very good birds, I’ve stayed home all day to rest and recuperate. Reported birds included: 11 Tundra Swans at the Liberty Loop, 4 Tundra Swans at the Bashakill, Snow Geese and Tundra Swans near Winding Hills Park, and a Greater White-fronted Goose at the Camel Farm. It’s good to see some things are happening.
Luckily, I still have some photos to post this evening. Yesterday afternoon I was driving in the black dirt when I inadvertently flushed a pair of Short-eared Owls. They were roosting in the taller roadside grasses, and they flushed as I approached in my car. One bird didn’t go very far when it flushed; it was the best look I’ve gotten of a Short-eared Owl in quite some time.
Great shots ..
Thank You! Matt
WOW!!!! Those are some world class shots! I literally dream about that sort of photo.
It’s just a matter of time and a little luck, Silas. You’ll get yours, I’m sure. Matt
Nice shots Matt! It was great seeing you yesterday and getting looks at the many Snow Geese and those Owls on the sod farms. Feel better!
