A Walk In The Park

Any day is a good day to walk down to the park. The fresh air, trees, friendly people, you name it. It's all there. When we go to the park, we like to admire all the nature that presents itself to us.
 
On this specific day we were grateful to see quite a number of birds having a grand ole time. One Great Horned Owl has returned to the park. Being tipped off about this and informed that it returns every August, we were quite excited to go check it out.
 
We also got the opportunity to visit the Coopers Hawk fledglings who were hanging out in a tree together. They were very vocal and waiting on a meal to return to them.
 
The Barred Owls are also still in the park. The male adult seems to be keeping to the Chestnut trees these days. One of the Juveniles however seems to be calling the Gary Oak forest it's home. Due to the fact that the Great Horned Owl is the Barred Owls only real threat, we are likely to assume the Barred's will not be hanging out in the SEW (South East Woods) any time soon.
