Honestly I did not head out yesterday morning looking for owls, but there are so many Great Gray Owls around this winter they found me! My primary goal was to enjoy the winter grosbeaks at the Sax-Zim Bog Welcome Center. I did find a huge number of both Evening and Pine Grosbeaks, but I will admit my treat for the day was watching owls hunt in the frosted environment.
Once it gets a little closer to dawn, I am heading out to enjoy the hoar frost. Unlike yesterday when it was cloudy, the night skies are clear right now. Blue sky on white hoaar frost? Uff dah! The world was white yesterday morning but with wonderful interlaced color.
