Birds today

Great horned owls hooting at about 3 AM, so loud I could hear them from indoors.

A male cardinal and a male red bellied woodpecker at the feeder at work. At the same time.

A bald eagle (I'm pretty sure) in a tree in a pasture on the way home.

A small flock of 4 snow buntings just east of Sandstone in a field.

A barred owl, sitting in a tree next to the road just a couple miles from home. Awesome, or what?

  3. Cindy- I have no words. It was awesome.

    BG- Been there, done that. Thank you!

    Heidi- Today when we were bringing Mr. Attitude to school, we saw a rough legged hawk taking flight right above the road. They can be identified by their "shoulder patches" seen from below. I had not seen one or a while.

  4. Wow, Deb, that's so neat to see all those birds.
    3 AM seems to be the magic hour for Great Horned Owls--that's when I see mine too.

  5. You have me beat by a mile. All I've seen lately is house finches, juncos and goldfinches in the backyard and red-tailed hawks about every tenth of a mile along the freeway!

  6. Definitely awesome--especially the big owls.
    Are the GHO getting ready to nest?
