O is for Owl

We rescued an owl in our back yard last spring… 
This spring an entire family has moved in!

We Muggles are thrilled☺

    Spooky photo of the owl. Almost looks like an alien creature. Cool stuff about having owls move in with you. Enjoy, you Muggles!

    I love owls. They are so cool. Especially loved seeing all the owls in the Harry Potter films!

    I love owls! We recently went to a Bird of Prey conservation centre, and got to see all kinds of owls, up close. How cool that the family has moved in! Great photo.

      It is cool especially since we live only a few blocks from downtown Dallas.

    Talya, I’ve been so enjoying your A-Z challenge posts–today’s about the owl was no exception! Also, I got a big laugh out of your Aunt Virgie and her ‘lost’ wig! Happy WW!

    Cute photo. From what I was told from an orinthologist, owls are the stupidest birds alive. The wise old owl is pure myth. If the world only knew.

    Owls seem to be popping everywhere for me – will have to look up the significance of that. How exciting to find an owl in your backyard.
