ISO 200 and -1/3 EC with Partial Metering brings out the rich blue sky (no polarizer was used).

Spent a productive afternoon photographing this rare Hawk Owl with Daniella, Rachel and Marc from Montreal. It's always wonderful to spend time in the field with people who appreciate nature and in particular, owls, as much as you do. There were quite a few other people who showed up to see the Hawk Owl and at times it was rather busy there.
