Living in the country has lots of advantages. One in particular is all the animals my son’s have had the opportunity to see first hand. They’ve seen: a calf being born, horses, cows, swans, ducks, rabbits, long horns, sheep, goats, raccoons, armadillos, possums, turtles, and recently an owl.
Jon’s parents live just down the street from us. A couple of months ago his mom told us that an owl was nesting in their trees and just had a baby.
Every time we go over to their house we search for the owl…and he is always close by. We found him one day just sitting on the ground by a tree…we probably got within 25 feet of it…he just sat there. (of course I didn’t have a camera with me)
We don’t know how long he will stay….we hope for a while. It is neat having a “pet” owl.
I tried to get a picture the other day, but he was high up in a tree and it didn’t come out that great. The picture above is from a web site. I will keep trying to get a good picture of our owl.
There are many types of owls, some are really ugly!!! “Ours” is called the Barred Owl…we think he’s pretty cute!
