Still performing

Lots of Great Grey and Grosbeak action the last few days which bode well as I am guiding a couple of English guys for just these two species tomorrow. I hope I still have credit with the Bird Gods 😊

I finally saw a kill although have suspected a number of times before that a mouse has been caught and then eaten whilst the owl is out of sight on the ground

the plumage is actually good camouflage in a pine forest

here the ow had just had a preen and had this strange expression for a few seconds afterwards

and from the side the bill became far more visible

looks like two different ages of secondary feathers

it is still difficult to get tired of these beauties

difficult to know which plumage is best
