A couple of days ago a friend sent me an email that I nearly missed amongst all of the political spam that has been clogging my already heavily spammed email address to alert me to a November 4, 2020 ABA article in the Current section of their on-line journal that included a photo I took many years ago on Belle Isle.
Titled Out Owling for Saw-whets and written by Greg Neise, a Chicago birder and photographer, about Saw-whet owls, my photo is the first in the piece. It's an extensive article that also includes vocalization recordings.
My photo in the piece is from years ago. I have not been a good curator of my own photos and was unable to find this same photo in any of my own photo collections. But, I did find one from January 3, 2009 in that same tangle. I think the photo used in the article is from a later date, because the Saw-whet was found in the same tangle for at least two years in a row and possibly even three.
Saw-whet Owl in tangle on Belle Isle.
This tangle disappeared when a clean-up to remove non-native species also destroyed the little owl's winter hideaway.
