I went back to the Northern Pygmy-Owl nest site again. Not much was
happening until nearly noon, of course my nice light was gone by then.
I did get some pretty good shots of owls in the shade.
Fluffing up in the sun.
I like how it is holding its foot.
I forgot to post this when I was at Buenos Aires NWR. A Spotted Ground Squirrel, the first one I've ever seen. There 2 or 3 historical records for South Dakota, in the south-central part of the state, where there are sand dunes. I looked for them there but never found any. This species is quite shy and timid, not easy to find. I waited for a long time for this one to get out where I could photograph it. Now I'm encouraged to look again in South Dakota.
