Great Horned Owl!

~
~Digiscoped with my iPhone through Karen Miller’s Zeiss spotting scope, Great Horned Owl in the black dirt, 9/9/15. As you can see there is something going on with the birds left eye, if anyone has any thoughts what might be going on there, please comment. ~ 

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.

    1. 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

  1. Great job Matt

    Imagine what you could do with your camera, Karen’s scope and a nicely lit day or evening!!!
