Owl Undaunted

Print
My backyard owl's routine is shaping up as follows: hunt all night, sleep until 5 p.m., then hang out on the front porch until sundown. I'm amazed at how unfazed the owl is by my presence. Even though it appears to be half-asleep, it clearly watches every move I make. I can see its head move as I move around the yard. Yesterday, while it was lounging on its perch, my neighbor had some sort of major project going on - complete with Bobcat machinery - but the owl seemed undisturbed. I managed to inch a few feet closer for this photo. I think this owl may enjoy the attention. I just hope this isn't one of those publicity-hungry owls looking to break into reality TV...Eastern screech-owl :: Photo by Robert Macias
