We interrupt this somewhat chronological travel blog to bring exciting news to all. Bird Species Number 397 has been spotted. And it is a very special long-sought bird, a Burrowing Owl. Four of them to be precise. Found in a large lot managed by the Audubon Club here where three small colonies of these birds were threatened by encroaching housing and the owner has put it trust to the club. Anyway this was my second serious attempt this trip and about five efforts in the past with no results, but today. Yay. I might get a second post up for Monday or two Tuesday but I was excited.
