I was so excited when I noticed a Snowy Owl in my yard the last few days. I saw him once and thought better of letting out my hens.
However, I thought I heard him in my front yard again last night….well apparently I was right. He arrived again tonight just about 8:30. The girls had gone to bed.
This isn’t a good picture but the best I could get at this darkening hour. I didn’t know we ever could see these around here. I think they are a rare breed here.
Do you think he is looking at the Eagle on the flag pole across the road?
Fabulous creatures!!! Careful with the hens!!

Hi Karen, I suspect what you saw was really a great horned owl, they're quite common on the West Plains. Snowy owls are way-y-y up north at their summer grounds. As I write this , a young great horned is vocalizing outside my window.
ReplyDeleteI actually saw him during the day and he was white and gray. Beautiful!
DeleteYes, I do think Mr. Owl is checking out the flagpole! Have a great Wed.
ReplyDeleteWOW..Great catch with the lens...
