Ah this is just payback for the birding trips you've done in the past Joel, which drive all of us crazy! :p

I went to Boundary Bay for the Snowy Owls, but the Short-Eared Owls really stole the show. It was incredibly fun (and challenging) to capture them in flight. And when one happens to work out, it sure makes it worthwhile.

(I'm not doing something correctly with the image uploader... but this link below works).

Lovely shots Joel. Good to see your getting better weather. I like the rain or snow that is coming down in your shot.

Can anyone tell me what this bird is. It is from Northern Nebraska and not on iBird. I also tried internet, but am drawing a blank.

Thanks. Your bird looks like maybe a Scissor Tailed Flycatcher...not sure though

Thanks Joel for the help. I looked and don't remember him having that type of tail. I was hoping it was some sort of yellow belly something (making my kids an alphabet book), but I think it is a western Kingbird. I found an old picture that has a better side view and think I found my name. I really appreciate the help!

Scandal! Amtrak harasses innocent birds!
