the shorties are back

couldn't pass up such a gorgeous afternoon, so i went up to Stanwood to see if there were owls about... there were!

this one was a bit nervous about the bald eagle soaring overhead...

it seemed a lot less concerned about me, shooting it from 50-60 feet away...

another owl, on the hunt...

Nice series, you even got one in flight! They're tricky to track.

Good shots. Any problems with the usual photo spots being flooded?

thanks, Bill! it was pretty sloppy everywhere, but not really any more flooded than normal for this time of year, especially given the rain. quite a bit of water leaking in through the levee, but that's normal enough at high tide... always wise to wear rubber boots up there...
