Hi Rob,

The Barred Shot is great.  I don't know if you remember my posts, but my son and I have had rotten luck trying to find owls on the spit.  Where on the spit did you find the Barred and the Saw Whet.  I'm guessing they were in the places mentioned in previous posts.  We went to the Hamilton area yesterday and saw the Hawk Owl and 5 Short Eared Owls.  That was great. My son was very excited.

That last post was supposed to be a PM.  No harm.

Thanks for these

I just can not believe
the shades on the owls

The last one looked  a bit menacing.
