Enjoyed a wonderful evening with a lovely couple, Donna and Juan for a private owl tour. This evening marked the return of the burrowing owl. Norma the barn owl disappeared overnight after I had just seen her on the previous evening's tour so I had to replace her with the barn owl. We also saw the "Grey Ghost" male and the dark brown female Northern Harriers hunting. Along with a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk and a White-crowned Sparrow.

Private Owl tour with Stacy and her sister Hilary and her husband Jeff and daughter Lily. We saw a barn owl and two western screech owls at two different locations.

Frances requested a private walking bird tour for her and her out of town friend Anne. It was a lovely morning and we saw a female Northern Harrier, White Pelicans, White-tailed Hawks, a White-crowned Sparrow, a Jack Rabbit and Anna's Hummingbirds eating a lot of bugs!

Fun morning with Sydney, Jane, Claire and Bill. The highlights of the tour were the Male American Kestrel and the Female Northern Harriers!

Fun night with Joany, Jeannette, Barbara, Relly and Matteo. We saw the barn owl and western screech owl and back to the barn owl to watch it take off. I could not find any owl pics for this evening. Either I did not take any or I accidentally deleted them, not sure.

Enjoyable evening with Tina, Steve, Sandra and Joan. No Great Horned Owl but we were able to see the barn owl and western screech owl.
