What an excellent capture of this napping owl. Interesting to see the banding and antenna, too, and good to hear that's being done. V.

cool to nap upright....hopefully the GPS data will identify habitat to be protected..

This bird has a burden. I never would have noticed or thought this was done on a bird. Very interesting
