An afternoon of a lifetime

It was snowing and we were hesitant about going to look for some owls that were reported in the area. We went along with our plans and never ever in our wildest dreams did we think we would ever have 7 owl sightings in one day, four different species, all of them lifers! The birds were much closer than usual and did not seem to be bothered by the few of us who were watching them.
