That is a great picture for your son to have. When my husband and I were newly married (41 years ago), we came home one night and there on our back patio was a small owl about a foot from the window. We were concerned it flew into the window but didn't appear hurt so we left it along. The next morning is was gone and only "a calling card" was left to show us he/she had been there. I still can picture in my mind that little cutie on our patio.
