A warm day today with highs in the 80's and sunny. I was out chasing bees and butterflies this morning when this fellow swooped in above me. I wasn't sure what it was at first, and I couldn't get very close with the short focal length lense I was using. But it was adequate enough to tell that it was an owl - not real common to see at noon. It was screeching at me, so I wondered if it had a nest close by. I will have to watch around there now. Now that I'm retired, I hope to be more regular with my photos here.
