Killdeer Plains
David & I braved the 10° weather today to take a road trip to Killdeer Plains.
It was just too cold to walk back to the Owl Grove, so we just drove through the area.
We saw numerous raptors, deer, and only one owl....but wow did he give us a look!!
And finally....tonight's sunset!

Owlets and More at Prairie's End
I visited Prairie's End today to catch another glimpse at the Great Horned Owlets. For perspective, here a shot of the owls in their tree cavity without a lens extender.
By adding a 2x extender, I am able to get more magnification.
A pleasant surprise, this Black-Throated Green Warbler was singing along the path to the wetlands. He's on his way north to Canada, his breeding grounds.

John Bryan Birds
We finished getting the motorhome ready for our trip next week, and decided to take a ride. We ended up in Yellow Springs, and took a drive to John Bryan State Park.
Neither of us had been to JB for a number of years. Just seeing the rugged landscape and the cliffs and gorges brought back memories.
We did find several birds and were able to photograph a few....
A curious Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher...
Some fish under a log....
A Hooded Warbler......
More Hooded....
Northern Parula Warblers......
A pesky Raccoon.....
And some wildflowers; including this Trillium...
