Today was a task day at Kirstenbosch - sorting maps, making phone calls and trying to organize next week's work. In between those times, I took a short walk through the garden and saw some more birds and other critters. The most interesting find was the Spotted Eagle Owl. I was walking along a shady path and saw a birder with a digiscope. He showed me the owl. Pretty Cool.

A different kind of spotted critter. The upper wings are completely translucent.
