It was another eventful day. I started out photographing my friends, the Ruby Throated Hummingbirds, when off in the distance I saw a barred owl glide from one oak tree to another. Abandoning my pint-sized friends, I hurried to see if the owl was in the area. As luck would have it, the owl flew into a stand of spruce trees. The lighting was horrible to get a decent photo, so I just stood and admired a rare sight.

When I got back to the flower beds, my friends were still battling one another, taking a rest from time-to-time to refuel and prepare for the next confrontation.
