Birding Highlight

This past week I was privilaged enough to be shown the nesting sight of Great Greys. Rumour reached the Theological Studies group at camp about the nest and my knowledge of it; and so I led a field trip with my old nature leader hat on. We arrived at the sight and the owl that was in the nest that morning was nowhere to be found. Feeling utter failure at bringing a large group only to see an empty nest changed suddenly when someone spotted a young owl sitting on a log on the ground. It did not take long until the mother was spotted as well. We have pictures including one with me a meter behind the young owl. I don't think the group was disappointed, and I certainly was not.
