We've discovered these little beauties in our neck of the woods and I wanted to share them with you...I'm having trouble figuring out my camera so they're a bit blurry...but, aren't they adroable? You can still see some of the baby feathers...so cute. I used a flash thus the red eyes...(I hope...LOL).

Awwww, Dee! They're gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing! Maybe this is where we can share our native animal stories. I'd love to hear what people have right in their own yards!

Mustang Gal...I did some research (aren't computers wonderful?) and find we have Barred Owls (Hoot Owls) in our neighbhood. We hear them during the day Hooting away and I try to call back to them (Hoot Hoot HOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)...I can remember doing that as a kid...Larry laughs at me but thinks it's cute.
Thanks for asking because it made me really curious and I've learned a lot by reading up on them.

Edelweiss...how cute.

Ladyjane...this would be a great place to post our critter watchers...who has some critters they'd like to share?

I just love this. Being an animal lover and watcher, this brings me joy! Aren't they beautiful? I have a friend who is doing a story on a fawn. I'll see if she will let me share it here. Thanks Dee...and you are so missed around here! Give the hunk a hug!

DEE,
Give the hunk a hug for me 2! Love the owl pictures! We have a reserve nearby called "Hawk Creek"; they have lots of owls there. Owls are such wonderful creatures! They're 1 of my favorites, along with dogs; cows; horses; hummingbirds; deer; donkeys; and wild geese. And, oh, men;
don't forget men!!!!
Thanks 4 the pics!!!! Loved it!

You guys are so funny...The hunk is sleeping at the moment...he brought a freight tain in from New Orleans and was up all night...but, when he wakes up this afternoon I'll be sure to give the hunk your hug JJ and your well wishes Jabber... He'll get a kick out of this.

I hope your friend will share with us the fawn pictures...that's got to be special. I think this forum is going to be a hoot (sorry, I had to say that). And I've missed you all, too...thanks for by cyber hug ya'll. More later...I will share with you my frog story...and photo...too cute.

I love owls ... we had two that lived across the street and hearing them call to each other at dusk was like music. I managed to snap a picture when one flew into our neighbor's yard but the photo looks more like a huge cat perched at the top of a tree.

As soon as I figure out how to paste photos here, I'll post a copy of the pygmy owl taken at the Desert Museum in Tucson and a hedgehog that lived in our backyard in Germany.

Blessings, Francine

Blessings, Francine
