A wonderful thing happens at my house when the weather starts getting chilly at night, we get OWLS! The past few nights we've heard their calls in the distance, probably over in the field across from our neighborhood. They have steadily gotten closer. On Friday night we were treated to the telltale hoots coming down our chimney. So, armed with a spotlighter, we all headed out to see what we could see and lo and behold, one of our great horned owls! It seemed a little smaller than the ones we normally see and quieter too. I'm thinking it may have been a young one. But either way, I sent Big Daddy in to retrieve the camera! Great horned owls are cool! They are even more cool when they hang out on your chimney, undisturbed by your light and let you take pictures! Thanks little owl!
