A Nighttime visitor

HOOT HOOT

After I put the chickens up to roost, I was just hanging out in the garden when I heard what certainly sounded like an owl.

It sounded way too much like an owl to really be an owl. And then as I was heading back in, there she was, this big Great Horned Owl perched on our roof.

I climbed up to take a picture put couldn't quite pull it off.

I scarred her and she flew to a neighbor's house.





A view from our rooftop, the owl is hard to make out, but after a few minutes she flew to a house across the street.



Birds of the night sky.



A very beautiful bird indeed.
