Ahhhh, c'mon, MAK! Pay attention!!

Did everyone see MAK's blog re her owl encounters at Hamlin? I swear, I do NOT know how she picked that owl out from the field of stubble. Check her FalconWatch blog, guys! Story! Pix! Video! What could be finer??

(Hamlin, btw, is the location of my first Pilleated W'Pecker.)
