After yesterday’s exhilarating walk, I was feeling so good that, after finding I had a little unexpected free time in Carver Park Reserve today, I took the opportunity for another short hike. Since I had limited time, I opted for the Acorn Trail, which is just under a half mile. But it doesn’t always take a long walk to find something really interesting! In this case, about half way along the trail, I saw a Barred Owl fly by. It landed high in a tree not far away, so I was able to get a few photos. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera with me, so I had to rely on my old mobile. The result is a less-than-crisp image, but I’m posting it anyway – spotting a wild owl is always exciting to me!
The owl is pretty much in the center of the photo, but you should be able to spot it fairly easily, even though it’s a poor image.
The biggest up-side of this experience, aside from the great owl sighting, is that I’m feeling quite motivated to upgrade my old mobile phone – hopefully the new one will take better photos!
Until next time…
