Morning birding trip across Ford County

Mon, 04 Feb 2013 17:36:45 -0600
Barn Owl photographed on a local birding run in Ford County. 3 February 2013
I went out Sunday morning with fellow birder, Jeff Calhoun, of Dodge
City looking to do some county listing. Jeff knew of a location where
there was the potential for a Barn Owl south of Dodge City.. and the
location did not disappoint. The Barn Owl took flight and I was able to
get a few frames of it as it passed by in excellent morning light! What
a moment!
