Sometimes when I’m out photographing nature, I’ll just sit quietly in my miniature camp chair and wait for something unexpected to happen. More often than not…nothing happens. 😄
But recently, while watching an Owl, I suddenly witnessed a Blue Jay launch an attack on it.(First image) A few minutes later, I focused on another Owl…and this time a Crow came flying in and literally slammed into it mid-perch.
The Owl absorbed the blow, then immediately took off in hot pursuit of the Crow. From what I’ve learned about Owls over the years…they are not birds I’d want to mess with

If you’re looking for an easy opportunity to observe a family of Osprey up close, check out the Osprey nest at the West Des Moines Wells Fargo Campus! Located in a parking lot on the south side of the complex, this nest offers excellent views and easy access to a beautiful mating pair currently guarding their eggs.

This weekend, Steve Daggs and I took a drive to a spot recommended by Lowell Abarr in hopes of finding owls in a place where little to no walking was required.
Over the last couple of years, Steve and I have made countless sorties searching for these elusive Barred Owls, usually with little or no success. This time, however, was a completely different story. Northern Polk County delivered.
Here are a few samples from an unforgettable outing.

Happy Birthday to the best son in the Galaxy. Brian Schwager brings his parents so much joy that it can’t be measured…and he’s a tremendous help as Jan and I add birthdays of our own! Thanks to God for bringing him into our lives! Time To Party!

What a wild night of blues with James Biehn and the Wheelhouse Band 🔥
James was on vocals and guitar, with Brian Schwager trading leads on guitar, Jordan Egenhouse-Cloe holding it down on bass, and Dustin Oliverson driving it all on drums. They lit up the outdoor stage at the historic Stag Inn, Bar & Grill—built back in 1906 and still going strong as an inn, bar, and restaurant (with five beautifully updated rooms upstairs if you’re looking to stay awhile in Garden Grove, Iowa).
From Clapton classics to their own originals, they had the place absolutely humming… in a town you might otherwise blink and miss.And honestly, with the energy they were putting out, I wouldn’t be surprised if they stirred up a few spirits across the street too—that house looked like it could be straight out of an episode of Ghost Adventures 👻🎸

XOLEX and her band had a busy weekend headlining Friday night at the amazing Mississippi Moon Bar in Dubuque and Saturday night they were at the Tama Ballroom in Tama, IA. I couldn't make it to the Dubuque gig...but I had a blast making these pictures last night. Thanks to Alexis Curran, Jon Locker, Chris Hansen, Diana Weishaar, James Biehn, and my son Brian Schwager for always letting me join in the fun.
