Whoa!

So, I’m talking on the campground phone, taking a reservation for July, when all of a sudden I hear my son yell,

“What? Whoa! MOOOOOOOOM!”

I hurry my call (sorry!) and rush to the living room. Ben points to the maple tree on our front lawn and I see this

How cool is that?

    I have a friend who loves Owls. I remember as a kid she had all kinds of owl figurines around the house. These pictures are awesome. Aren’t owls only seen at night? where are they during the day?

    I was just talking to Dad and he said that if food is scarce, they’ll come out during the day. And another site said that Barre owls will hunt in the day.

    He is gorgeous!

    I’m so jealous! I bet he’s so gorgeous, and so much fun to take pictures of. Like I said before, I really hope he’s still around in March!

    I’ll put in a good word for you babe! LOL

    We haven’t seen him yet today, but its very sunny. I read on Wikipedia that Barre Owls will hunt early morning before the sun is up and on cloudy days. There was an owl call link there . . . if you get a minute, try it. It’s very interesting!
