A Feathered Friend

September 4, 2017 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

It is always wonderful to come across an old friend after an extended absence. Sometimes, we have to hold our tongues when we notice that time has not been exactly friendly. I am thankful my friends provide me the same courtesy.

Since pileated woodpeckers and other avian species do not read my posts I feel a bit more free to explore the changes in my feathered friends. Read the results in this week’s post on:

An Owl In Autumn Gold | Union Bay Watch

November 8, 2015 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

EB2R7318This week’s post shows the adventures of one of our young owls, among the golden leaves in the Arboretum. If you have not had the chance to visit the Arboretum lately, I would suggest visiting it soon, as the leaves are rapidly loosing the color and their altitude. You can see more “golden” owl photos on:
