Our Long-eared Owl adventure: Chris and I were on a birding trip in Minnesota when we saw those owls. It was incredible to watch those birds while Chris was able to get a series of incredible shots from the show they put on for us. The other part of this story, we were there in January... that's right, January in Minnesota, and it was -15 to -35 degrees (and we are both a little crazy). As a native FL girl, that experience was memorable. I'm familiar with frost, but I never knew it could form on your eyelashes. But the birds we saw on that trip were incredible and it was a successful adventure!
