...or not.
About two weeks ago Hudson and I took a late afternoon walk at Secor Park. As we approached a wooded area I saw a raptor dart across the path. He was too chunky to be a Cooper or Sharp-shinned, and too small (and in the wrong place) to be a Red-tailed. It turns out he was a Barred Owl - the first time I have seen this species in the wild.
Once again, I was caught without a camera capable of capturing a reasonable image. The Cannon point and shoot I use for monitoring would have suited. It certainly is easily enough dropped in a coat pocket. On the other hand, those pockets are filled with keys, dog poop bags, facial tissues, and a phone.
In all likelihood, phone cameras will eventually be able to do the job. In the meanwhile, I'll try to remember.
Ah well. So you didn't have the best equipment.
ReplyDeleteWhoooooo could have known you'd see an owl?
You got the shot.
It's all good :)
