| Photo credit goes to my dad...there's no way my camera phone would have ever gotten this shot! |
Just for a visual, this is a juvenile Great Horned Owl; it was shot (you know what I mean...) a few years ago in the woods behind our house.
Every fall we hear a pair of owls calling to each other and I am happy to report that they have been making their presence known each morning for the past couple weeks.
In actuality, they sound like this to us (audio only...sorry!)
To them, I think the calls sound like this:
There's a visual for you, right?
Follow me on Facebook!
Wow! That's a great photo. We hear owls all the time, but we've never actually seen them, let alone gotten a photo. (And hilarious song to go with it.)
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that you don't have them living in your barn...have you ever looked? And do yours sound like the link I posted or different? I'd be happy to help you research that if you would have need...or desire. I'm certain this offer to research something surprises you not at all.
DeleteThat is awesome...he's so cute. We hear owls around in our neighborhood, but very rarely see them. We have bats too---I don't think Tom Jones sings for them, though...
ReplyDeleteI assume you mean the owl is cute, not Tom Jones...I may have to rethink the friendship based on your reply...
DeleteYes, we have bats too...and I think they are SUPER cool. But we've never gotten a photo of them...and no, Tom Jones only sings for the owls I think. It's in his contract (I don't even know why that's supposed to be funny but it made me chuckle).
Yes, I meant the owl... er...I mean, Tom... um... wait...which way were you thinking again? With our friendship hanging in the balance, I can't think straight! *ack! The pressure!!!* Ok, deep breath. ... yes, the owl is cute. Right? The owl. Yes.
DeleteJust the other night, in my neighborhood, I could swear I heard the following:

*snap! snap!* ..."but when I see you hanging about with anyone...it's not unusual to see me cry..."
It makes perfect sense now.... it was the owls...
Poop! That link didn't come up like it was supposed to... sorry 'bout that.
DeleteWell, if it makes you feel any better, it came up correctly when I got my email that you'd posted a reply. :) And yes, it's not unusual to see me cry either.
DeleteYes, yes, the friendship still stands. :)
HE'S SO FLUFFY!!!
ReplyDeleteAgreed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8EFVDq0crs
DeleteWell, I can't take any credit...I realized that I failed to originally give my father his photo credit. It has since been rectified. Phew!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen or heard tawny owls...very cool! :)
