Owls are way cool and I love your pictures. A great horned owl got my cat though and I am still sad 11 years later. I do enjoy seeing the owls because it is a rare opportunity! Thank you.

I was so excited, just had to go out and take it's picture. It heard me taking the pictures, and turned it's head and looked right at us. Is this cool or what?

Since you love owls, I just have to share a picture with you. We were at an RV Ranch (horses) in Colorado that had a lot of trees. This little guy appeared on our patio one afternoon. We called local group and they came and got him.

OH how sweet and tiny!! LUCKY you to see such an awesome thing (can ya tell I am a nature lover?LOL)

Owls are so beautiful. I rarely see them here. I do see lots of hawks, and down by the Boise River, you can see Bald Eagles. But owls are special!

I posted a picture of a visiting owl last week. I think with all the deep snow cover they are not able to find their usual diet of mice and other vermin. They are hungry and showing up in odd places and at unusual times of day trying to survive.

Aww, parrothead, what an adorable litte fuzzball.
We have a great horned owl in our woods too, as DH has seen it, but I never have. I'd sure love to, tho.
