Since 2 days I have a new visitor in the garden, this lovely young spotted eagle owl.
Years ago there used to be owls around on a regular basis, but not for quite a while now.
I was so surprised to see Minky sitting on the ground and staring up at a tree. She sat there for so long that I went out to see what was so interesting, then I spotted this little beauty. I sure hope it stays a while.
Oh what a wonder! We used to have Western Screech owls in our backyard in Arizona but I haven’t seen an owl in Vermont yet. So your pic is a treat for me.
A great capture, Diana! So clear (in focus and in composition- no branches in the way :) What a good thing that you checked out what was holding Minky's interest! Fav
@cordulaamann They look right to me Cordula, they have so many claws ;-)
@grammyn She sits there the whole day and almost does not move Katy, just chooses a different branch and I have to look for her sometimes. Mostly with closed eyes, but opens them when she senses that I am there ;-)
