Observation details
Wow! While scanning gulls, I noticed that they all began looking up but didn't flush. When I finished right after 4:15, I saw the owl far out over the water. It turned and perched for a couple minutes in a large tree on the opposite shore. On its way out it investigated a perched Redtail out there as well. It slowly rose and circled this way, eventually floating directly overhead in the setting sun! It finally crossed the road to more traditional habitat. Of course, when it passed overhead I must have had the camera settings wrong, but the sighting itself was thrilling, bringing back memories of a similar daytime SEOW here years ago.
