10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 11, 2018

I spooked three Barn Owls out of a dense scrub row, just as the sun was setting. Jeanne has long desired top photograph the Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Fiestas ( You can see her photos here )and I wanted to visit the Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge. This one flew right over my head. The first one nearly took my hat off.
