I'm on a Michigan birding group on Facebook. I saw a picture of an owl family in Ann Arbor. For grins, I decided to look up owls in Ann Arbor and I found a park that apparently had them. I decided to head over there.
As I was about ready to head home after not seeing them, I saw a couple photographers pointing cameras in the woods. I kind of figured they were taking pictures of the owls. I got near them (but not closer than 6 feet) and they pointed out the owls to me. After a few minutes, they got out of the way so that i could get some pictures.
I saw this turkey vulture flying over.
They also pointed out the dad owl. He was kind of in a difficult spot and after looking for a while, I spotted him. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a great picture from this spot.
I took some more pictures of the babies.
Occasionally, I'd hear sounds from the father owl and then I would hear return sounds from what I assumed was the mother. I moved around trying to spot her and then I saw this squirrel. I was hoping this squirrel would bring her out but that wasn't to be.
Another shot of the babies.
I tried to move to different spots to get a picture of the dad.
Then I saw this hawk flying around.
I was happy to spot this blue jay.
Another shot of the dad.
I went to the other side of the river to try to get a picture from the front. Unfortunately, this was the best I could do.
After dinner, I decided to head back to the park. I was hoping to get some better pictures. The owl had moved, so it wasn't too bad. There were more people this time but I kept my distance from them. They weren't keeping their distance from each other though.
I was able to move around in an attempt to get some better pictures. I kind of like this one.
Another picture that I kind of like.
This one may be the best picture of the bunch.
One more picture.
I will definitely come back here. Maybe I can get some better pictures.
