Geocache Description:


¾ mile down the Otero Canyon Trail that runs along the bottom of the canyon. Camo'd bison is 25 feet up and off the trail.

I didn't hear an Owl in this area, but I have heard them at Embudo Canyon and elsewhere. Which species I'm still trying to figure out, and will fill in the name when I do. I heard a couple of Owls calling each other near Yale Blvd and Tucker Ave NE on 8/20/2022. The bird app identified their hoots as Great Horned. SNEEZY took the cool background photo in the Bosque this summer. I wonder if Great Horned Owls prefer town to East Mountain locations like Otero Canyon?

Special Thanks to SNEEZY for sharing and giving permission to use your photo!

Congratulations to cyclegreen for FTF and avoiding all the bikes!

Enjoy!
