I have to confess that it was difficult to call my first solo try (the owl guru and I tried unsuccessfully together a couple of months prior) looking for the burrowing owl at Coyote Hills a failure.

White-tailed kite
Male northern harrier
And even an owl! This great horned owl, taken well after sunset, hence the blurriness.
And here is the sneaky rock-like burrowing owl I didn’t see until I got home:
