It was the squawking blue jay that was the clue. Yesterday, except for the same lesser yellowlegs foraging in the duckweed and the ducks feeding out in the marsh, there didn't seem to be much of photographic value until I moved into the woods to check out the wood ducks. This blue jay was making quite the commotion, but I didn't think much of it as that's what blue jays do, until I noticed a large feathery body perched atop one of the snags. It had to be one of the two resident juvenile great horned owls that have been seen at different locations in town, including the marsh, since they hatched early this year. I looked around for its sibling but didn't see it.
