Boy, it seems like forever since I posted anything. After not leaving home
with the camera for over two months, yesterday was a wonderful day. I didn't
really get many photos or even have super looks at target birds, but golly I
love the sunshine and having enough light to take photos.

Went to Skagit Co. Started at West 90, which is more under water than not.
Then over near the swan reserve where I found some Trumpeter Swans on a
flooded roadside pond. Then Fir Island and the end of Rawlins Rd where I
watched harriers and herons and finally caught up with my main target for
the trip, the Short-eared Owls.

I have written a little more here: http://www.pbase.com/jvhigbee/b_pblog

Come-on spring, I'm ready!
