So … I was sort of bummed yesterday and today because Snowy Owls had finally made an appearance in the Duluth area. However, our daughter and her family had self-isolated such that my wife and I could visit her family … including four of my six grandchildren.
.
I wasn’t really bummed, but I was jealous of my friends who were watching Snowies all this weekend. Anyhow … about 50 minutes ago my oldest granddaughter came inside from playing and called out to me: “Grampa: There is an owl in the yard! Do you want to see?!”
.
Umm … my winter jacket was on in less than an instant. Watching this Barred Owl hunt with my daughter, grandchildren and wife was extra special. It was already past sunset, but given the location … I know this owl will hunt this frozen pond again real soon.
