Happy solstice season. Attached is a picture of a Northern Pygmy Owl from yesterday. My wife and I are enthusiastic birders living in Southern Oregon. She's the chief IDer. I try to record for posterity. I maintain a website to keep track of as many cooperative birds from our trips as possible, this year mainly from within a tank of gas of home. We have a camper on our pickup so we can socially distance and still go out with some frequency. This year's website collections are of locations ranging from the coast of California and Oregon as far east as central Oregon. Other years we venture further afield. While we saw over 200 species this year I was able to capture about 170 of those species. Birders interested in these Oregon/California locations might find the collections useful in IDing birds and seeing the possibilities. Last week for example, we had the privilege of spending an hour in a meadow with two hunting Great Gray Owls. I posted an extensive collection from that experience. the website is at mrtk.smugmug.com

Wonderful composition and great subject. I have always want to photograph an owl but rarely see them in my area.
