Week 10 of 52, 2017 52 Week Project

Week 10 of 2017 52 week project:   Barred Owl

Had a house full of people and it has been raining a lot lately so not a lot of time to get my photo of the week in.  I was playing golf last weekend when a couple firetrucks went by the course with the sirens blasting.  I heard a pair of Barred Owls answer back to the sirens.  Game on!  Local owls 5 miles from my house.  I headed out at first light this morning to find them and it was SO foggy!  Wasn’t really worried about the lighting I wanted to find their den tree.  Five minutes into the search and I had them both calling to me.  Didn’t find the den tree yet, but now it just a matter of some more field time.

Life is good and I am blessed!

Burrowing Owls of Zanjero Park Arizona January 2017

I really enjoy my last trip to Zanjero Park for Burrowing Owls in Phoenix last June.  So when I had to go back to Phoenix this January I made sure to take some camera gear.  I was hoping for Babies / Owlets this time, but no luck.  One of the locals said the owlets come out in late July.  This year’s offerings.

Owls at White Rock Lake

Heard the Barred Owl at White Rock Lake owlets were fledging.  So I finally got over there to photograph them.  Two of the three were already fledge and only one left in the den tree.
