We had a lovely visitor on our back fence this morning - a Barred Owl!

@VA3DSO Was large was it? If it was small it looks to me like a Northern Saw-whet Owl. ‍️

@VA3DSO
Nature is really amazing. Thanks for capturing and sharing such a wonderful moment with us. Did you keep your owl as a pet?

[va3dso@mastodon.social]

@mediocratese it seemed fairly big to me. I was wondering the same thing though. The key is my owl has dark brown eyes and a Saw-whet has bright yellow eyes. So I’m pretty sure it’s a barred owl.

@nuwagaba2 no but it is welcome to visit anytime it wants!

[cheriecreationstruck@birds.town]

@VA3DSO Awesome!

@VA3DSO
Owls rarely visit a place twice unless they have found something good and peaceful. Let's hope it visits again. Can I share with you about my project?

@VA3DSO Weird squirrel!

@VA3DSO that's a gorgeous owl ️

@VA3DSO @nuwagaba2 Back to chewing the cabling on the wall opposite?

@penguin42
What's your favourite chocolate flavour?

[va3dso@mastodon.social]

@nuwagaba2 Sure, send me a DM. I had a look at your profile and it looks like you and your team are doing some awesome work!

[va3dso@mastodon.social]

@penguin42 @nuwagaba2 I've never had squirrels or other critter gnaw on any of the cables outside my house (yet!). However, in that picture, that's actually my neighbour's house (the owl was on our back fence). Hopefully the cables remain intact!
