Some additional #birding experimentation on Flashes. Here’s a snowy #owl from the last irruption year, 2021. They were in the same location earlier this month but we didn’t see one when we went the other day.

Today I was dreaming of the warm air and all of the smells of life and nature, and then my phone was like “hey remember in 2021 when you hiked the one of gnarliest Catskill high peaks with your dog??” I long for the summer but idk if I’m gonna climb Wittenberg this year.

Two years ago today I had the craziest Barred Owl encounter of my life, just flew right off the ground onto a branch so close. I wasn’t even shooting RAW back then 🤯
