These pictures aren’t great but I thought I would share them anyway. I walked into the master bathroom one evening recently and glanced out the window and look what was looking back at me….an owl! I hurried to get my camera and took a few pictures. I was afraid that if I tried to go outside to take the pictures he might fly away so these are through the window….. Mr Owl watched me as long as I watched him….
The next morning I looked out the window by the deck hoping Mr Owl would be back and look what I saw!! The sun was streaming from behind the trees but I could see not one owl but two!! I grabbed the camera and took some pictures of Mr Owl and his mate (I assume)….
I hope they hang around awhile. I will try to get outside and get some better pictures of them. They are beautiful birds!

ReplyDeleteWow that is amazing! I have always wanted to see an owl in the wild...my husband said he saw a large one in our yard in the fall....haven't seen it again. They look like Halloween owls with the shining eyes!

Wow, how fun to see not one, but two owls. I have only seen wild ones from a distance. I have seen them close up at zoo's where they have done bird shows. Thanks for the party.

How lucky to have owls that stay and let you take pictures. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeletewhat fun to see 2 owls!! I think they are the neatest creatures!
ReplyDeletethank you for the party
That is so cool!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou were so fortunate to see two owls! A few years ago, late at night, we saw a mother owl and her young ones flying around in our back yard. She was teaching them how to fly and they called back and forth to one another. It was the coolest thing, but we didn't get pictures!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! With those owls you won't have any mice around. Or any other little critters... like tiny dogs or kittens, so be careful you have any.
Thanks for hosting this fun party :)

Susan,I love your owl pictures! We saw a short eared owl, during the daytime, which I thought was kind-of odd, unfortunately, I didn't get a good picture of him. Sorry...I'm late in getting my post up but again thank you for hosting.
