| The above are not my pictures - they are Flammulated Owl and Saw-Whet owl that we heard in the Manitou Experimental Forest. |

| Tree rings. |

| A tiny bit of the Hayman burn from the Manitou Experimental Forest. |

| We stood quietly in the moonlight and listened for owls. |

| From the zoo bird tour - these vultures make and protect a nest even through their real nesting season is winter. |

| Guinea Fowl |
 |
| Mississippi Kite at my house thrown in the mix. |
 |
| Green bees back at my house too. |

| Not an official zoo resident - Western Bluebird |

Could you tell me what location in the forest you heard the owls? My wife and I would love to try to find them.
Top of a ridge about a mile, mile and a half up the road into the forest. I don't know how public it is - we were with someone who does banding for research at Colorado College.
