Thanks to Rosy for hosting Nature Friday.
It was an exciting week for us in the owl department. We have lived in the hills for 8.5 years and while we have heard the owls, we have not seen them.
Our first spotting was Sunday morning on our morning walk. Down the road I spied one sitting in a tree. It was just before 8 am and she was staring at us. I regretted not having any device to caputure her image. So imagine how excited I was on Thursday morning when during a zoom consult, I saw movement from the corner of my eye and there she was! I actually paused my meeting to call the Man (who captured this picture). She was there for about 15 minutes before moving on.
Thanks to Yamini for hosting FFF.
The little birds sound the alarm
An intruder to them who may do them harm
But when I look it is beauty I see
Wisdom and grace have come to our tree.
owl-la la we love owls and we love da pawem ;O)
ReplyDelete'Wisdom and grace have come to our tree'. That is so beautiful, and we are thrilled that Man captured the owl with his camera.
ReplyDeleteHappy Nature FFF Friday!
Fabulous shot and we love your poem!

ReplyDeleteOH my.... this is beyond wonderful!!! YAM xx
this is sooooo exciting. we had the same thing happen last year, a screech owl screeching from the tree in our front yard, he sat there for 10 minutes even when I opened the door to take photos. he was 20 feet from our porch and on a limb that was eye level, about 10 feet off the ground. I still feel excitement when I think about him.. thank the man for capturing the moment
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to capture that picture of the owl. We've heard many owls around our house but have only spotted them in day light a handful of times in the 30 years we've lived here and never had a chance to get pictures.
ReplyDeleteK10 I understand and can feel your excitement an glee as I read your beautiful Ode to the Owl.
ReplyDeleteIt is such an honor to see them in their environment
Hugs Cecilia
So happy for your magical moment captured in poetry and picture.
ReplyDeleteSuper pawesome!! One of Momma's cousins lives way out in the country, and she frequently hears and occasionally sees owls!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's amazing!

WOW! That is such a great shot! And through your window! I KNOW there is an owl living in the tree beside my bedroom, I hear it at night (thus the cats are NOT allowed out after dusk) but I have never ever seen it! Thanks for sharing! Have a marvellously Happy Day!
ReplyDeleteWe've also had Barred Owls around, and we hear them more than we see them. They are a bit shy and they are by far, one of my most favorites!
ReplyDeleteHoot, hoot - I love owls. I love the photo!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the Owl, blending in so perfectly with it's surroundings. I once saw one of those tiny Owls in the City, standing in a Tree in the Parking Lot by a Bookstore, just inches from my Head! I managed to get my Cellphone out and take a pix, it was quietly standing on one Leg Calmly looking at me, Surreal Moment!
