Just a few of photos

There was one real highlight this morning!


BARN OWL (74)
 I was really excited to find this Barn Owl this morning a bird that only seems to appear here once a year! It would have been nice to have better light but seeing it was great getting any photos was a bonus for me :-)
Yellowhammer for something different
Dad had 4 COOTS this morning!!
