Northern Harrier in flight in nice light

Christopher Dodds December 7, 2022

My group had some pretty awesome views of Northern Harriers yesterday. This is a female against autumn Cottonwood tree foliage. Things are starting to dry out after the near record-breaking rain the other day. Bosque del Apache was photographically slow with many Cranes and Geese, but very far from the road. I took the group to another reserve that had just reopened after the rain made the roads too muddy to drive without getting stuck. I have such a great group that I am really excited things are getting back to normal.

What is Superb Owl Day? While it likely existed offline before its internet usage, the earliest known posting about "superb owl" was by Twitter user @shawnw on February 3rd, 2008. That day, the tweeted, "Superb Owl party tonight!". Google assumes that Superb Owl Day is simply Super Bowl Sunday misspelled. Regardless, it has become fun to share owl images on Super Bowl Sunday. Enjoy the game & enjoy the owl images all over social media - smile.
