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.
Guess which person is me?!
The owl came to see YOU!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a gift. Your grandkids and that owl:-)
perfect that you could all share the owl!!!!! so beautiful
The second photo of her(?) is amazing!! The look in her eyes…I can’t quite say…but human and very expressive!! I’ve seen a lot of owl photos; but this one is magical! Thank you for the story snd the post! Made my day.
Good things come to those unexpecting but optimistic. Congrats to that grandchild!!!!!
