From a small town to a big city...

Hi everyone! Yesterday I zipped over to Verrado with my Mom and Dad, in search of the continuing Lewis's Woodpecker. There was one on Mt. ord also, but I found out by the 2 birder ladies that the Lewis's was all the way on the top of the mountain, which required either all-wheel drive or lots of hours to hike up there, the 2 things we lacked. No luck on either woodpecker, HOWEVER: I found the family of GREAT HORNED OWLS that have continued for a while! As you can see the chicks are still young, so they'll be there longer. These are my FIRST owl photographs!!!! This is a WESTERN KINGBIRD I found in one of the Date Palms, first photograph of one. I know this post has been short, but that's pretty much it for outing, since those were really the only 2 interesting species of birds in the Verrado neighborhoods. The owls drew a nice crowd, about 20 people saw them during the time I was there. Many ebirders saw them on previous days. The great Horned owl, is officially my first owl I have photographed, and a new Arizona bird for me!
I'm Jared Conaway, and stay tuned for my next adventure!
