This was the best of the bunch, they were all pretty well tucked into the trees.

Has anyone gone to owl woods yet this year? I'm hoping to head out there this Saturday morning... and then hit Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge on the way back.

Ohhhhh. I was wondering if we had missed the ideal window for that. I'd like to go. Any idea what time you plan on getting to the Glen Iris woods on Saturday? I might join you.

Probably mid-morning. You do know why so many owls gather there, right?
