Barred Owl: Hide and Seek

4 Replies

If you read my previous bloggle,  I mentioned a barred owl on my walkabouts.  Well, I saw her and she was highly social this morning! It flew in front of me and we watched each other for a couple of minutes. So I walk on, just enthralled with its appearance and how it silently flew in my direction when I had been thinking about it all morning. Then as I turned onto another path on the trail it flew by me again. HOLY COW another sighting! Is this just the perfect time to see her in action or is she trying to get my attention? So she sits on top of an old broken tree top. I get my phone out but all I got was a very blurry picture of her.

I told you if I brought my camera she wouldn’t be seen, so of course I didn’t. She was very curious of me because we just stared at each other. I think after awhile some crows were flying above and she turned away not interested in me anymore. Well, I hope she remembers me next time we play hide and seek!

Owl and Tea

She’s saying, “Here have a cup! Stay up!”

I will hear her sometimes at night (it’s a mother owl I believe outside my window) “who who who whoo… whooo” and naturally wake up and go “it’s an owl!” And go suddenly right back to sleep.

But I had some rather potent cup(s) of green tea earlier and now I am obliged to stay up, owl dear. Dear owl, I hear you. What wisdom do you bestow on me?

I’ll let you know what she says, with another doodle later.
