Thanks Mike, though a Harrier, not an owl. I see the resemblance. Here's a recent Great Gray Owl.

My wife and I took a two week camping birding trip to Eastern Oregon. From Ashland we stopped in Summer Lake, Malheur NWR, the Zumwalt Prairie, returning through Fort Rock, Cabin Lake and back to Summer Lake. We started on April 15, a little early for returning warblers and shorebirds in this part of the world though there were several migrants here and there. We did see nesting raptors, lots of ducks, and a goodly collection of passerines. I've posted pictures to three collections at mrtk.smugmug.com if you would like to see some of the photographically cooperative birds at these locations. Not all are what you would call artistic, but they reflect a little of what's around at the end of April. Here's a sample:

I denoise first as per Topaz and others. It helps to see details when post processing especially in noisy photos.

Thanks very much topcat

Thank you very much CCPhotoist

Thanks SWFeral. We were standing at a pond looking for a Virginia Rail that was talking when the coyote started howling. There was another coyote lying in a field a couple hundred feet away. Maybe he was trying to impress her. Never saw the Rail.

Thank you photophile

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to look. I'm glad you all enjoyed them. A trip to Pt Reyes is well worth it
