Media notes
Zoomed out to show habitat and preferred location for roosting in view. Very patient and calm owl. Thanks Owlbert!
Observation details
at about 10 between sora and canvasback lakes. Posterior view during first lap. Large blue truck and SUV completely blocking the road, caused a back up of about 15 cars before someone got out and urged them onward. I snapped this on my way past and proceeded so others could see. The front shots were taken 20 min later on second lap, Once more a photog was dominating the spot for a long time. I pulled in front of them and took the sharp, framed front photos in less than 2 minutes and moved on. They were irate. Please let's all help everyone enjoy the refuge and photography by using good sense and etiquette, not hogging road space or shots, and using kind words. Owls at the refuge seem to result in really rude and intrusive behaviors which are unnecessary and detrimental to wildlife. Do better everyone.
