I am a Pacific Northwest native transplanted to the southeast for 36 years. In 2012, I returned to my childhood home and fell in love with this corner of the country again. I am a grandmother, a storywriter, a teacher, an attention payer, a hiker, and a back roads wanderer. Check out my website (and my memoir) at www.gretchenstaebler.com.

Nice picture. We once saw two baby great horned owls sitting in the crook of one of those cottonwoods. The parents were keeping a watchful eye out just above them. Don’t know if it is still a regular nesting spot. I enjoy (read: am envious of) your photos!

I saw a great horned owl once. But only because there was a group of bird watchers gathered on the boardwalk with binoculars and huge-lens cameras on tripods. Otherwise I never would have spotted it!
