Great Horned Owl. Had some help finding this guy as the crows found him first. About a minute after this he took off with about 20 crows giving chase. I could still hear the crows yelling at him 20 minutes later.

Nice. I do like a nice wading bird. We occasionally get Lesser Yellowlegs here in the UK.

Nothing like a day of Flamingos - Hopefully people will respect the proper distance and not cause them to leave.

I am, though I may not feel it some days. Just too much going on to make regular appearances here.
