I got tired of passive social distancing, so I opted for some active social distancing. I left home at 6:30 and stopped by Memorial Park to look for the Neotropic Cormorant that’s been seen there earlier this week. I didn’t see it, but I did find this Double-crested Cormorant with a fishing line dangling from its bill.
I drove down to Squirrel Creek Road and stopped by the prairie dog town that is generally reliable for Burrowing Owls. There were six owls there (along with two Pronghorn, two Swift Fox, and a ton of Black-tailed Prairie Dogs). I must have taken 50 photos of Burrowing Owls during the morning, but none of them came out well. This is the best of the bunch. My camera struggles with brown animals on a brown background.
In this part of the state, it’s hard to find people, much less get within six feet of them.
I stopped for some grocery shopping on the way home and wore my “mandatory” mask for the first time. Supposedly a mask is required when shopping, but at least a third of the shoppers didn’t have one.
That’s a good look for you. Are they mandatory at banks too?
