The last two nights my owlets have been begging for food … almost right in my yard. Thus, this morning I decided to go owling at 6 am (sunrise). It’s actually pretty easy to find the Great Horned Owl family during twilight hours right now. Go hike off trail where the thimble berries are ripening, and one finds the owls. All the small mammals and birds eating the berries means good hunting for owls (I also ate a lot of berries!). I just listen for the begging calls, and then hope I am able to find their perches (difficult in a pine forest … sight lines are difficult).

After owling I worked out at Cardiac Rehab followed by a trip to the Wrenshall Sunflower Field. A trip to Matten Road in Wrenshall in the morning is a delight for the senses right now. Here is the Google Maps link.
