The New Hotness

  • Monthly Image: Barred Owl In Daytime

    A pair of Barred Owls set up housekeeping nearby and we’ve watched them swoop down on rodents in the yard. We hope they succeed in raising their owlets!

    This one kept watch on us as we cleared out a dead holly bush near the garden:

    I took another picture at +1 EV to show more of the owl’s face; while blowing out the highlights:

    Barred Owl - daytime - 1 EV

    Go, owls, go!
