heard someone spotted a pygmy owl near Carnation again, so i headed out hoping to find it. it was sunny, at least when i left, and i'd heard it had been seen often close to the ground and near a path... no such luck! i finally found it, but it was at the end of the day, about a mile from where the sighting was reported, and the owl was way up in top of a tree. the sky had gotten cloudy, the light was gone, poor shooting angle... everything i did NOT want, so this is nowhere near as good as the shots i got last year. but, i did at least get to see the little rotter...

If it makes you feel any better, I went out Saturday looking for it and found it at the original spot reported (not last year's site). The blackberry bushes were so thick I couldn't get sharp photos, so these never got posted on my flickr or facebook. He stayed pretty well hidden for the several hours that I was there, and it took a long time to locate it. I have to agree, last year's owl was much more cooperative. Anyway, here's my photos, unedited and uncropped. Despite the lack of photo ops, it's always a treat to see a pygmy owl!
good eye, Tyler! i probably would never have spotted him in that thicket!
