Tawny Owl (Family Strigidae, Strix aluco) This medium sized, round owl lives in the woods and open areas with large trees for perching. Although just over a foot tall, they can also be fierce: a tawny once attacked an unfortunate photographer when the bird decided he was too close, causing him to lose an eye! Their call is the famous "to-Wit, to-Woo." With the loss of much of their rural habitat, tawny owls are moving into cities and suburbs. Their hunting techniques have changed with their new environment. One new technique involves landing on a branch and then slowly walking sideways along the limb until it is next to a sleeping songbird. One quick snatch, and the owl has a meal!

After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.
He's gonna go to sleep. LMAO Beware the songbirds. Nice job bud and the info too.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

"You may forget.
But let me tell you this:
someone
in some future time
will think of us."
He looks very wise and as if he were puzzling over some great philosophical question. He's quite a beauty, Randy. Lovely post of this great bird.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
