About face pays off!

Started out for our usual walk alongside Harrison Bay...


you can see the water levels have really crept up again....at about this point we could see some people with two large dogs coming towards us and when you have one small dog, you have to be wary of such situations, so we decided to turn around and walk the other way along the river.


so calm!

As we walked along....


spotted something in the distance.......


a Northern Pygmy Owl

The sun was in low in the sky and of course in the wrong position, but did manage some good photos of him, especially as we walked back...


like this one...




and this one, where it's head is turned so you can see the 'eye' (that dark marking) on the back of it's head 

Although the Pygmy Owl was the biggest treat, as we didn't see any all last winter....


this male Belted Kingfisher also cooperated about as much as a Kingfisher ever does...

and of course there were a few ....


Bald Eagles, like this one busy eating something on a branch overhead.
