Like me, this photo is an old-timer. This bird was one of a large family of Burrowing Owls that I photographed many times that summer in a remote area in Box Elder County way back in 2015. Over time they became acclimated to my pickup and I spent many hours with them as they went about their normal daily activities.<\/p>\n

This was one of the most leisurely and relaxed wing and leg stretches I’ve ever seen from a bird of any species. It was leisurely enough that I was able to get lots of photos that were somewhat similar to this one. The fact that the owl was so relaxed and accepting of my close presence is one of the many reasons I like it.<\/p>\n

If you prefer, here’s a vertical composition of the same photo.<\/p>\n

I’m posting this older photo today because if feels so good to finally be able to search my photo archives again and actually find what I’m looking for – after many months of being unable to do it after my backup computer was repaired and I couldn’t get my photo organizer to recognize the drive paths.<\/p>\n

You might say I’m posting it just because I can.<\/p>\n
