At first I thought Harry Hawk was back
the stillness of the squirrels made me look around
and as my eyes scanned the branches of the trees
SMOKERS!
I realized that it might be...could be...
IT IS!
The long- eared owl is back!!!
in my white pine
Oh joy
joy
joy
however....my good camera with the long zoom
well, I let the battery run out!!
so I had to use this old pocket camera
and I had to scatter around the house looking for it
Oh it's sometimes trying to be me
but
joy!

Oh Suz, I am so envious. You are so so so so so so lucky! Who cares if the long zoom didn't work....you got the shot:) That is really exciting. I hope that one day an owl will visit me. I don't care who decides to stop by....Mr. Great Horn or El Sr. Pigmy...we accept all birds here:) Enjoy your Sunday. I'm doing laundry....again.
ReplyDeleteSuz,
ReplyDeleteI'm soooo jealous! Owls are my favorite bird and I haven't seen any around for awhile now. When we first moved here we had lots of Barred Owls but I haven't heard them in quite some time.
For Christmas my Mother gave us a sponsored owlet through the Owl Foundation www.theowlfoundation.ca
I'm so happy for you and I hope you see him/her more often.
Thanks for sharing the picture, we can make it out kind fine.
I with the other comments. The owls are my favorite!!! Right now we have 'short eared owls' around and I'm trying to be quick and get a picture of them--What a treat to see and what a good eye to spot one!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't exciting to see something like this owl?
ReplyDeletesmokers! you sound so much like me:)
ReplyDeletehappy owling, my birdloving friend,
Jennifer
Wonderful news, Suz! You are so fortunate to have one right in yard. Exciting.
ReplyDeleteI think Owls are good fortune. What a treat!
ReplyDeleteNow, keep that camera battery charged. Opportunity flies in on the wings of readiness.
What a beauty it was.
WOW! I know how happy you were to see him and that's why he came. He's watching over you.
ReplyDeletesomebody better.....I'm sinking fast
DeleteHow cool to have the owl back. He know a good garden when he finds one!
ReplyDeleteHappy, I was soooooooooooooo excited
DeleteOh.My.Sacred.Grandmother!!!! I would give, oh I don't know what, but something really really precious to see that in person!! Owl chose me a couple of months ago to be 'with me'...oh Suz, I'm happy dancing all over Ships Landing for your good fortune. :D Can I save his picture in my photos just so I can go look at him every so often? Oh oh oh I'm soooo excited for you!!!
