Merry Christmas to Us!

Because it was sunny and in the 50s here on this Christmas Eve, we decided to take a late afternoon walk at our favorite park - Inniswood.  We got a fabulous present when we got to see the first owl that either of us have ever seen in the wild.

There was a man with a very large camera on a tripod focused on something.  As we approached and looked where the camera was pointed, we saw what we thought was a huge owl.  The photographer told us that this one in fact is not that big - his female companion is even bigger.  Turns out they like to follow the creek in that quadrant of the park, and this photographer has been following them for years.  He calls this one Grumpy.

We called this one Beautiful!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night... and happy birdwatching!
