Local photographer (a very talented one) and friend Sandy and I made another visit to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands Ecological Preserve yesterday, hoping to spot and shoot the Burrowing Owl that had been spotted there.
Against the odds, we succeeded, as did many other local photographers. This photo, taken by Sandy, shows just a few of the many photographers. The lady lying down under the rail was only a few feet from the tiny owl, and I'm the one kneeling.
I came away very pleased with the outing - I got 4 keeper photos: 2 of the owl (my first photos of this species) and one each of a Great Blue Heron and a Snowy Egret. I'll share them one a day, starting with this shot of the Burrowing Owl and American Coots in the background...

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
