Night Hiking at Pahranagat NWR

Dawn and Rich have introduced me to night hiking! They supplied me with a bright LED headlamp and out we went. We saw a Great Horned Owl, a Northern Saw-whet Owl and a Common Poorwill. Taking night pics is a challenge but I did get a great Poorwill one!

As you can see it really blends well with its surroundings! The poorwill and the saw-whet owl were life birds for me bringing the total of life birds seen at this location to 4 as during the day time I saw Pectoral Sandpipers and a Lapland Larkspur.

We also saw a skunk, kangaroo rats, an unknown small dark weasel like creature and lots of spiders! The spiders eyes shine like blue diamonds! Their eyes give away even the smallest ones.
