Well we had quite the wind storm and accompanying power outages last night. While it had settled down somewhat by the time I headed out to Reifel<\/a> this afternoon, there was still a cool breeze. With a smaller crowd than normal for a Sunday, it was fairly quiet as I headed out the east dyke.<\/p>\n

This Brown Creeper was busy foraging moving from tree to another. There were also some Ruby-crowned Kinglets, but none that were going to cooperate for photos. On reaching the northeast corner,<\/p>\n

… I was pleasantly surprised to find one of the Great Horned Owls roosting in a branch a little lower than it has been of late. I set the camera up here for visitors allowing them good close up views.<\/p>\n

While showing and watching the owl I took time out to feed the eager Black-capped Chickadees that had gathered looking for handouts.<\/p>\n
