Saw the little owl from 5:30 pm till he flew out at 6:30 pm. During that
hour, it was only partially visible through spotting scope. At about 6:20
pm, it preened for about 10 minutes before flying down to a very visible
branch and perching for about 30 seconds (it was very dark by that time);
then it flew out towards the gazebo area by the boardwalk and on out. I
got the worst photo ever, at ISO 12800, but can tell that it is the owl.
Not a wasted trip, though, as it was a lifer owl for both Dan and myself.
Today, about 30+ people were looking for the bird, but no one could find
it, not even the little blob of his head seen yesterday.
