Owl on the Tufas by thepcspud Via Flickr: Often at Mono Lake in the Eastern Sierras we see Osprey nesting on the tufa island, however, this time no Osprey and for two good reasons -- two Great Horned Owls. At dusk they began to fly around landing in different areas of the island. It was fun to get them in 6 different locations. I would have liked to have been able to get the two interacting but it was cloudy and getting dark and I didn't want to increase my ISO that much. Our party of 3 were the only ones there and the owls seemed to fly around for our benefit ... probably not, but we still got lots of good eye contact.
