Jackie Sones was out very early a few days ago and was rewarded with a sighting of this Barn Owl, Tyto Alba. Doesn't it look like this owl is scattered with diamonds?

Jackie then watched the owl fly off into the fog. She wrote: "There was dense fog at the coast, so you could see moisture in the owl's feathers. As the owl flew off into the fog, it looked like an apparition, making us wonder if it had really been there or not."

Thanks to Jackie for allowing me to share her photos with you here. Jackie has a wonderful nature blog that you can find here: https://bodegahead.blogspot.com/

It's warm, breezy, sunny today...but a fog bank is forming up over the Pacific Ocean.
