Beautiful pic!

Great photo!

I got several. The large Barred Owl humored me for several minutes. Such a specimen.

Those are amazing! Owls are cool.

Those are amazing! Owls are cool.

Indeed they are. I believe this one was a female. She actually called out to me, I never would have seen her otherwise. I was locking up and she made this strange chittering sound at me from the tree. She wanted to know who I was. I walked straight under her and she didn’t fly away. She was beautiful. Her head would whip around at every crunch of a leaf under my foot.

She was immense in size, which is another reason I believe she was female. (Girl owls are bigger.) She was perched in our twisted old cherry tree. What a sight to see.

Her head is on backwards.

Her head is on backwards.

Yes, her head would go backwards if she wanted it to.

OWL

Don’t forget about the “short between the seat and the steering wheel” (If your car isn’t driving too good)

I'm 5 feet flat. If it's short, the seat was built for GIANTS! (I'm being a smart aleck again)

You could use 4x4 blocks fastened to your shoes? (Just thinking outside the box)

Progress?

Phyllis and the Phyllistines were sited in the same vicinity today.

Flockservation

Here is something which I think will play out in favor of them eventually hanging out together. Phyllis has always been more active than my other chickens. There are many times when the tribe is content to lay in the sun or sit around digesting when Phyllis is up and active alone. This was one of those moments today. Phyllis wandered off from the tribe alone and encountered the other chickens who were also out and about being active. Perhaps their activity level will be a better match than Phyllis has with the group right now.
