The little lady was out and about today. \u00a0A raptor center employee informed me that the owl I have watched these last few days was female and weighed about 3 lbs. \u00a0She has been in the area for about 3 weeks. \u00a0There is no telling how long she will stay. \u00a0It was bitter cold in the wind this afternoon. \u00a0Little lady wasn’t loving it either as she hunkered down out of the wind behind some irrigation equipment parts. \u00a0It appeared as though she was hunting among the corn stock debris in the field.<\/p>\n

I was shocked to learn that 70% of these birds that were pushed out of their normal range will likely not survive the trip back North. \u00a0It may be tinkering with nature, but I don’t think it is all bad to supplement her normal diet some with a few juicy white mice. \u00a0The raptor expert agreed and ventured to guess that is will help her odds of surviving some. \u00a0This little white-feathered-mouse-killing machine is growing on me some.<\/p>\n

Here are a few more shots from this afternoon’s encounter. \u00a0All taken with my trusty Nikon D60 and Tamron 70-300mm f\/4-f\/5.6. \u00a0Nothing fancy folks. \u00a0There were other boys and girls there with their big bazooka lenses. \u00a0They were nice and shiny, but heavy and held alongside the road. \u00a0There is something to be said for light and mobile and the ability to move quickly.<\/p>\n
