A very sweet encounter with this high elevation owl, I'd heard it multiple times on previous occasions, and caught a very unsatisfactory glimpse just a week before, this was the place where I finally got to see it properly! Posted 3 years ago

  In this case the key was hearing, it has a very distinctive song! Never would have found it otherwise Posted 3 years ago
