What an amazing day at the San Jacinto Wildlife Area! A kind birder with a long lens invited me to tag along to the Great Horned Owl Tree. I got a shot of Mom, but didn’t see Dad until I lightened the shadows in my shot. What an unexpected blessing!

And I’m meeting so many other birds that are new to me. Another great day!
