. Firstly, I was waiting for my coffee to brew. Cinnamon and I were on the back deck. We heard TWO barred owls calling to one another. Back and forth, deep in the forest, down the hill. Now, I could have gotten dressed, it was a cold 10 ℃, but I thought I'd just leave them alone. I have photos!

Friday I'd found owl mute, and searched around. I found an owl pellet. I brought it up to the house to dissect it. Too bad the grandies aren't around to see it!
Barred owl hoots twice, robin harasses her! June, 2016:
Standing on the back deck, still waiting for coffee, Cinnamon had his head poked out between the glass. A hawk of some sort swooped by, right under our noses. You should have seen Cinn's eyes! Big and wide, and greatly concerned. He's been watching the phoebes coming and going. As well as Fred.
It was silent, and glided on by. Grabbing my camera, still in housecoat and jammies, I threw on my clogs and ran around the house. All I found was a red squirrel, sitting twitching its tail. Very concerned. That'd be breakfast for a hawk.
I am thinking it was the broad-shouldered hawk. There aren't many photos of hawks from above them, on a fly by, but I distinctly recall the black and white stripes.

My son had a mouse nest in his tractor too. Darn mousies!
Oh, the barred owls are so cute. The hawk sighting is so cool. And congrats to Jordan !
It's surprising how busy we are. We don't notice it until we write things down.
I saw vultures flying around our place today.
Look at those white daffs, spring has arrived. Green grass, birds galore and family visit. All sounds so wonderful.
Wow,
Great sighting of the owls! Have a great day!
We are suddenly close to the summer foliage out there except for a few of the later trees. So green on the byways this weekend.
3.9 is a total wow. Way to go. I had an owl this morning, whooting away outside the porch. Did not see it and I am not expecting it to stay. We have a femal hummer, now who has joined our two males, so we can hope for nesting and riots to follow.
Wow, great sightings! We hear owls but rarely see them, and never get a photo.
Good news on your mower. A mouse can cause much damage.
Yay for Jordan! That is excellent.
