of the words. "Parliament" is in a gothic script. "Owls" has an owl eye for 'o' and the remaining letters are feathered. The owls are, right to left and top to bottom: the Eastern screech, Northern saw-whet, long-eared, Barred, Great Horned and the American Barn owls.

It was apparently four years ago today that I took this baby picture in the forest. #GreatHornedOwl #Kelowna #WildlifePhotography
Juvenile great horned owl. Its plumicorns, or horn-like tufts of feathers, are barely there but will grow more awesome with age.
Wiley Slough, Skagit Wildlife Area, WA.
Today I co-led a bird walk (drive) around Stillwater NWR.
Cloudy, windy, rainy, and eventually a dust storm greeted our group of 8. But we saw 37 species we were able to identify. Several others we couldn't quite get the ID on.
Only got a handful of good photos.
I did see a few delightful owls. Wasn't sure if anyone was home in the box until I saw a tail stick out as it moved around inside.
Night Owlets
A pair of recently fledged owlets prepare to explore their neighborhood as night falls over the city.
TFW the monkeys are stomping around again.
The great horned owls have taken over last year’s red-tailed hawk nest! Chicks may have hatched since they seem to be standing on the nest sometimes instead of constantly brooding. They’ve never nested close by before and it’s been SO DAMN COOL. Hoo-hooing most nights for MONTHS <3

Do you know how hard it is to photograph two large fluffballs at the extreme end of your zoom capability while hiding in a truck so they don't see you?
Worth it.

Stacking Owls
These owls were kind of enough to line up in roughly the same focal plane just before sunset.
I always enjoy hearing Great Horned Owls calling & even better—hearing 2 GHOs duetting! Here’s my Perpetual Journal art of 2 GHOs duetting, a Cooper’s Hawk, & a small Mexican Poppy plant.
In my latest blog post I’ve continued my blog mini-series entitled All About Birds. Here’s Part 2 in that series, featuring my art & natural history info:
