Wow, I just noticed that this is my 100th post. I was thinking my blog visitors might be tired of seeing my Costa Rica vacation photos so I am posting a mosaic my more recent birding walk. On Saturday, hubby and I took a quick walk to a local park where the birding is usually good. This time of year I can usually find some warblers moving thru. No luck though with the warbler sightings. We did see a few Red Eyed Vireos and a lot of Blue Gray Gnatcatchers. A large flock of Bluejays flew over and different species of woodpeckers were heard during our walk. The best sighting was of a Barred Owl. Two weeks ago we saw a pair of owls in the same spot, I believe they are nesting nearby. This is a pretty park with a stream and lots of pretty yellow wildflowers growing along the trail.

Hello Eileen

You really captured a great owl picture! We have one in the neighborhood who sits so still and patiently in a Torrey pine tree. They are fascinating hunters.

II liek this, so green. My world is still grey. But it has started to grow.

It looks like a nice place to take a walk. The wildflowers are pretty, and you have a great picture of the owl!
Wow great pics of the owl! What a beautiful area. I know what you mean about vacation pics. I came back with 900 from a two day trip to Boston! Hey don't worry about sharing more if they're interesting, and you're are why not! ~Jeanne
Your owls came during the day. My grand ma did like owls.
I enjoyed your holidays photos.
Owls are cool! Your photos are spectacular and so is your mosaic!
It certainly looks like spring has sprung where you are too. Thanks for sharing. Valerie
I love these owls, although I'm never seen one in person. Lovely mosaics.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
How pretty!! We hear morning doves (or is it "mourning"?) every day & they sound so much like owls.
lovely photos of a lovely place to visit.
Great pictures! Love the green and yellow mix.
Have a great week.

What a lovely walk you had!
I do like your mosaics - must try and find out how to do them!
I am waiting very patiently for my pictures on owl. I have seen any yet. You are lucky enough though.
Very Pretty! I really like the one with the owl.
Refreshing florals this time... love the golden flowers.
the closest I can get to see an owl is in the zoo and you managed to capture it in its habitat, wow! I envy you! the flowers are gorgeous too!! Enjoy your week!
I would love to see owls too. Birding is fun and hope I can do it here in my place. Thanks for the visit and happy Monday!

The yellow and green in these photos make the mosaics outstanding. Each shot is beautiful! Great shots of the owl! So nice stopping by!
Kindly, ldh
Hi Eileen, I love seeing your bird mosaics.... You have many different birds than we do here ---or at least I never see the Vireos or the Gnatcatchers...
Your wildflower pictures are beautiful also. Love the yellows.
Hugs,
Betsy
Eileen, congratulations to your 100th post! More power and more posts!
You are so lucky to spot that owl! Beautiful yellow flowers could brighten anyone's day!
Have a great week!
Congrats on your 100th post!
Awesome shots of the owl, it has been a long time since I have seen one here. This looks like a wonderful park with all the wildflowers and birds.
Eileen - Congratulations on you 100th post -
Your owl shots are so neat to see - and I love that yellow wildflower. I am going to have to look that one up. I have a penchant for flowers that look like the sun - no matter what color - you know like daisy's and echinacea.
