Lake Elkhorn produced several new birds. Unfortunately I only actually saw two of them. I missed the Chimney Swifts and the Purple Martins that someone reliable walking by had spotted. There will be other opportunities for these fellows as the are just starting to arrive in our area and will stay for the summer.
What I did see were are opposite ends of the size spectrum. A House Wren (85) 4 1/2 inches long with a seven inch wingspan, and a pair of nesting Barred Owls (86) 21 inches long (or tall) with a wingspan of or around 43- 44 inches. Quite a contrast.

Unfortunately, I could not view the last photo. Was it the owl?
Have never seen the first bird in this post. Am learning much. :)
Yes, I don't know what happened. Maybe I will be able to dig up another, they are imposing looking birds, I would not want to be a field mouse.
