This photo was taken during the Skaha Bluffs fire in 2020, and I don’t know that any of us knew the owl was in the shot until after we took it.
Heard hooting, seen in photo perched on saguaro during Aurora borealis that came through much farther south than perhaps ever before.
Saw-whet, perched on Holly bush. Full daylight.
Fluffy downy feather, close to 6 inches long
