Very nice! We had a barn owl on our fence as a kid. That’s been the best I ever really got to see one in the wild. I hear the great horned owls where I’m at now, but haven’t ever gotten to see them. I think I’m in the wrong side of the woods from where they go. I did see one that must have gotten something to eat right at the edge of the road a few weeks ago. We saw the cat in front of us swerve and when we got there it was a giant GHO! I went by a couple days later and didn’t see signs of anything, so I hope he flew away before anything happened to him.
It is fun posting here, and I was really hoping to get people to visit these places. Plus I get to learn more things. This week I learned that the ear tufts are called plumicorns, and that in French, they have different words for owls with and without tufts. The one word for owl also is slang for cool/awesome/etc.
