    Owl grabs fish from my pond

    Well if there was ever a time you'd like to make the news, this would be it ;) That costume is pretty cute but it will only fit a toddler or I'd buy it :) Just for fun, I tweaked your snowy. I could have made it look better if I'd taken more time. Please don't take offence. This is my first...

    Owl grabs fish from my pond

    Awesome! Those eyes are piercing! It takes my breath away! Love it. He didn't photoshop out the roof very well. It looked better cloning out the roof completely.

    Owl grabs fish from my pond

    I just heard from a birding friend in San Diego that I told about your owl early on and she said there have been so many birders interested in the snowy ,they have a bus that takes birders daily to see your owl. I doubt there will be anything else in your life time that will draw that many...

    Owl grabs fish from my pond

    You would think that Elvis was back LOL . The birders have binoculars, Long time birders ditched the binoculars for a camera and the people without either are gawkers that just want to know what they are missing out on. I'm sure it is into the thousands that have come to see it. It will be like...

    Owl grabs fish from my pond

    Your owl did not have help getting to CA. About every 5 years we gat them in OK. One year we had 11 in our state. I hope to photograph one if one arrives here. I'd love to see a male, they are solid white. Just beautiful with their golden eyes. Here's a male snowy in flight. Now that the word is...

    You got some great shots of the owl. You could make a small fortune with T-shirts. All it needs to say is: I saw a Snowy Owl in Cypress CA with a photo below.

    I told you your owl is a really big deal! Birders are really good down to earth people. Hope you get to know one of them.

    Owl grabs fish from my pond

    I'm sorry but I had to document your sighting since it was a great photo leaving no doubt of it being a snowy. The friend I first told about it said never in her life time would she see one. So I sent your photo. In the birding world when there is a bird you have never seen it is called a lifer...

    Owl grabs fish from my pond

    A murder ( a large flock) of crows are mobbing ( action, as to what they are doing ) the owl :) Blue Jays are known to mob owls along with the crows as well. Just yesterday while doing our yearly Christmas bird count with my Audubon group, there were a dozen crows making a racket. I told the guy...

    Owl grabs fish from my pond

    I think you must be talking about the great horned owl begging call. Here's a link, I think it is the fifth call down. Great Horned Owl Sounds, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The Barred owls have a call during breading that reminds me of a jungle of monkeys hooping and...

    Owl grabs fish from my pond

    You didn't say what time of the year it was but your white owl in New Mexico was most likely a barn owl. And Portal AZ is one of the few places where you can see as many as 12 species of hummingbirds during migration. It is awesome!

    Owl grabs fish from my pond

    OMG lucky you! Snowy owls are rare in California. It needs to be documented. Yours looks like a female. About every five years or so there is an irruption of Snowy's. When there is a baby boom of lemmings, more young snowy owls survive causing them to migrate south from Canada for more food.

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    I'm not sure what that means. Where do I do that? My owlcam is down until I get the new barrel up. Hopefully in the next day or two.

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    At first glance I thought they were red fox. It just looks like they are playing around to me. Nice catch.

    Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+

    Thank you! Once I removed all the duct tape holding the light up I saw the adjustment screw. It was just a week ago that I had adjusted it and I had already forgot how I did it. Getting old sucks :(

    Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+

    Wildcat, I just bought the IPC-B5442E-ZE on Amazon to use over my Great horned owl nesting barrel. I am in the testing phase right now using a ladder with the cam and lighting mounted to it. The nest will be 18' high and I want to get everything mounted right the first time since this is pretty...
