Hi, Here are photos taken between Feb. 22-28. What’s the best way to send the pics to you to keep the resolution high? I try to usually send them as actual size photos, Enjoy! Sincerely, Steve Barred Owl, Farmington. My wife noticed some very agitated crows at our neighbor’s house. I grabbed the camera to go check and while I was looking up into the trees to see what was happening, my wife pointed this Barred Owl out in the snow. The crow’s behavior is called “mobbing”. Thanks Debby! (Steve Muise/Farmington)
