Fi, that's SO cool! I love owls too & would LOVE to see one! I've never seen one, other than in pictures. I know we have some here, as my step daughter said she once saw one in her back yard.
I'm hoping that we will get to see some up at our place on the river once the weather is nicer. |

Wow how lucky of you!  I always got excited when I'd see owls in the wild too.. seeing them in a zoo just isn't the same. |

My little Screech Owls are in their nest box.
We saw the little hen yesterday afternoon.
I'll see if I can get a new picture of her.
Here is a pic of one of my rescues:

I was once at a Owl Sanctuary
And they were flying Barn Owls and people were allowed come up the front and the handlers called the Owl to the People...
And I was one of the lucky one's and I could not believe how light the owl was!!..
They are so beautiful...

They're all feathers eh? I've never touched or held one, but they look sooo fluffy, I'm not surprised that they're really light! |
