Wasn’t broadcasting this year’s batch of Barred Owlets, but someone spilled the beans and the photographers are sprouting like mushrooms on a warm day after a gentle rain. . .

A gentle reminder: folks, we get excited, but please, take a few shots and move along, eh? Don’t camp out for hours. . .

Today I saw a photographer trip on another photographer’s tripod and nearly go sliding down a ravine.

Admire nature, but respect it, too.

BTW, these were shot handheld with a wee Canon SX730 pocket zoom.
