Two weekends ago (3/7/16) I went out to check out a tip on a great horned owl nest. Sure enough I found my first Texas Great Horned Owl. She had taken over a nest up on a power line tower. Couldn’t find the male and I left her alone as I am pretty sure she was sitting on eggs. I’ll head back soon to see if I can get a glimpse of the babies.
Ventured off to find a pair of Barred Owls I had another tip on and all I could find at that location is what I believe to be a Cooper’s Hawk.
On the hike out and back towards the car I ran across an Eastern Bluebird.
Next up some spring flowers down at the Arboretum.

Matt really liked my 100-400 lens for walking around and snapping a few photos. Doesn’t this one look like a Billboard?
Another Matt Photo
Matt and Sharon thought this turtle looked like ET the way his neck was stretched out. Another Photo by Matt at crazy high ISO!
Layla loved being pulled around in my collapsible wagon. Tough life: Right?
Layla liked the monkeys the best!
OK, so I did snap a few photos on my own.

Sunday was opening day of the Pool! Water was 88 and the air temp was 82.
I am about three weeks behind on editing and the blog so my plans are to catch up while Sharon is out of town.
Their Talons are so sharp, this guy ended up cutting the head off this fish. The body ended up falling back into the water and the eagle ended up with only the head.
