It is Superb Owl Sunday so I wanted to share four of the owls that I see most frequently. Barn, Burrowing, Great Horned and Short-eared Owls are the owls that I photograph most often here in northern Utah.<\/p>\n

My favorite owl is the one I have in my viewfinder. I can see and photograph owls out where I can smell the scent of sagebrush hanging in the air.<\/p>\n

Owls are cute.<\/p>\n

I also find them out in the snow-covered marshes that surround the Great Salt Lake.<\/p>\n

Owls are tough.<\/p>\n

And by looking for them in all kinds of trees in the forests, edges of grasslands and in the city.<\/p>\n

Owls are mysterious.<\/p>\n

I spot them out in the desert where the winds blow hot during the summer.\u00a0 Owls are fascinating.<\/p>\n

I’m always looking for owls and today is a great day to share some of the owls I see with all of you.<\/p>\n

Since I used to live in Florida… Go Bucs! I won’t be watching the game, I’ll be out looking for birds.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
