“You know we have cameras in that town. You can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out of that place without us knowing,” Milliman said to Elser, according to Ring doorbell footage of the Sept. 27 encounter viewed by The Colorado Sun.

Then on Oct. 15, more than two weeks after Milliman showed up at her door, she got an email from Chief Bret Cottrell, congratulating her on her detective work and announcing that Columbine police had dismissed the charges against her.

“After reviewing the evidence you have provided (nicely done btw), we have voided the summons we issued,” Cottrell wrote to Elser in an email.

Female Eastern screech owl (Megascops asio) staring down at me

I was doing some native wildflower landscaping under the tree she was nesting in and apparently making too much noise. I heard her moving around inside the nest box and looked up to the most evil glare I ever did see.

A quick cell shot and I did my groundskeeping somewhere else for a little while

Philippine eagle owl

NAPWC 06.2026

The Philippine eagle-owl is a vulnerable species of owl belonging to the family Strigidae. It is endemic to the Philippines, where it is found in lowland forests on the islands of Catanduanes, Samar, Bohol, Mindanao, Luzon, Leyte and possibly Sibuyan.

Thank you for this wonderful pose and opportunity to photograph you. We all appreciate you

This photo is to create awareness that we have such great biodiversity in the Philippines. We need to protect them against poaching, hunting and environmental damage.

Looks a bit like a Buffy, but not a Buffy. ☺️

You know what that means

Banking burrowing owl. Most often you photograph these little guys on the ground - so it's pretty special when you can get them in flight.
