QUICK POST: After my golf match tonight, I called Karen Miller to see if she had relocated the 17 American Golden-Plovers (!!!) that Bruce Nott had located in the black dirt earlier in the day. She had not, but she HAD located a GREAT HORNED OWL. I didn’t think I would arrive before it was too dark, but I decided to try for the bird. I joined Karen and Diane Bliss and we got incredible looks at this magnificent creature, what a big beautiful beast. Wilma Amthor joined us and got her lifer GHOW, so congrats to Wilma! I was, of course, wishing I had my camera to get some photos. Karen offered her scope so I could try to digiscope it. I was pretty happy with the results; I’ve tried with my own scope and never had any decent results. What a great, fun night. Huge thanks to to Karen and Diane for locating the bird and letting me know about it. I am actually out of commission through the weekend (I’m going away on a golf trip), so this was a great way to go out.
Wow! Sure wish I lived closer to join you all on your adventures finding such amazing birds!!!!
Nice job digiscoping!
You do pretty darn well up your way Deb! (Ahem, for example this week’s Buff-breasted Sandpiper). Thanks, I credit Karen’s scope for the decent digiscope shot. Matt
Great job Matt
Imagine what you could do with your camera, Karen’s scope and a nicely lit day or evening!!!

Thanks Wilma, glad you were there to enjoy that bird! Matt
