Owls in Golden Gate Park! 2011

We drove into Golden Gate Park in a heavy rainstorm, but luckily the sun appeared after a half-hour wait in the car. Nice wet owls trying to dry off in the sun . . . San Francisco, California

If I just join them . . .

Me too

Sun is setting and all are alert

Just the three of us

And just WHO are YOU?, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California

Bye for now . . .

Bad ear tuft day!, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California

Take-off

Cold, very windy, and damp as the sun sets. We depart as they rest before their night flights.

Back the next night, sunny but very cold and windy

Handsome Mallard had dreams of being a G-H Owl

They all flew to this tree

Stretch!
