Owls – livingthedreamwithsallyandvic/wp-admin

During the past week the weather was perfect: clear, sunny and cool. Each morning we had our coffee and went right out to check all our favorite spots. We’d come back home for lunch and a break. Then back out around 4 pm and look for birds until sundown. The weather has changed with cloudy days and some rain. Now we are catching up with pictures to share.

The baby great horned owl grew so much while we were in Ruskin for two weeks!

We met a couple at the GHO nest who only photograph owls, not just here but many other places. Vic asked her a couple of questions about their experiences. The woman said the male and female have different calls. She demonstrated each one’s calls. She’s been listening and filming them so long she knew that and could make their sounds! It was amazing.

He/she reminds you of a toddler in a snowsuit don’t they?

Two years ago we found burrowing owls on the side of a road going to a drive through zoo attraction. This year there is a construction project of some kind and the owls have left. We found them last week! Yay! The new burrow is on Joe Overstreet. There was only one owl but we talked to Tom today who says now there is a pair.
