Went out with the wife today to Twin Pond Campground, part of the Webster State Wildlife Area. On the way there, Tiff shouts out, "Is that a Snowy Owl?" I pull over; sure enough, the same Snowy Owl I saw on December 30 is perched on a fence post, scanning the area. I take out the camera to get some photos. Crap! I left the battery charging at home! Of course.
Once we got to the campground area, we got out and took a hike. It was ridiculously gorgeous out, and thankfully, the birds decided that it was too nice out to hide. Tiff and I saw 1 new state and county bird (Hermit Thrush), 1 new county bird (Golden Eagle), and 2 other new year birds (Townsend's Solitaire and Brown Creeper). Awesome day to have the wife by my side! I'm pretty sure I would have driven right by the owl if she wasn't there. (Sorry, no pics...yeah, the battery thing)
