Photo of the Week: Fall Sunrise

Hope you’re not tired of another beautiful fall sunrise. For the second month in a row, I woke up early to search for an owl.

Last month I woke up early to search for a Great horned owl and saw the waning crescent moon as the sun rose.

Today I watched another fall sunrise while searching for (and seeing!) the moth-like flight of a Short-eared owl as it hunted over frost-covered fields in Superior Township, Michigan.

Look closely in the sky, above the silhouetted trees against the deep orange and above the gray horizontal clouds.

You’ll see a bright light: the planet Venus.
