Summit #3. Ok – Finally…. This is the last time I climb this hill. I have too many other hills and peaks to summit. This time was specifically to get some good shots of an owl nest and some owlets that I happened to see during my second trip to this hill. I only had my cell phone with me the last time and this time I took my girlfriend’s good DSLR camera! Oh yeah! Gonna get me some owl pictures! The hike in was uneventful, although a cool front had moved in bringing some clouds and cooler weather. I got up to the fence, dropped my pack and got out the good camera and started making my way up the slope, trying not to get too close to the nest so I didn’t spook the parents and have them abandon the nest or attack me. Hey – Owls are predators with huge oversized talons that could perform some serious damage to me…. I bet. I don’t want to be the first person killed by an owl…. Anyway, I made my way around the nest and could make out some light grey fuzzy shaped at the top of this next. I could also make out the larger parent who calmly positioned itself in a palo verde tree between me and the nest. I worked my way around along the slope to get some good shots. I got a a few shots of the next, the owlets and a couple good ones of the adult that was watching me. But the clouds started to look like it might rain, so I packed up the expensive camera and hoofed it back to the car. I’m afraid I may have to go back a fourth time to hopefully get a better shot of the nest from the top – this time not worrying about possible rain. And of course, the DSLR images exceed the 10MB max size allowed by Peakery. I'll add them when I have a change to crop and shrink them... Sigh….
