Nothing wrong with feeders, they can bring surprises. Had rose breasted grosbeak a number of years ago. Not common in Seattle.
The owl was in an ash swale about a dozen miles south of Salem, Oregon. Stanley Park is an urban treasure.One of the great urban parks in North America, use to take number 1 son there all the time when he was just a wee pup.
Is the Great Horned from Stanley Park, there were always warnings for joggers, folks with the wrong kind of hat, bouncing pony tails etc, attacks were not uncommon.
cheers
I love the crow! He's sure giving someone some stuff!playing around with shots at the fountain and bath, the birds were keen for a clean today

I replaced my fountain pump this past fall, normally I turn it off when it is really cold, but wanted to see what happened with this snap,not sure how to describe old Shakespeare here, he kinda had an ice scrotum for a while. And yeah, I know, he needs a little mold scrubbing
