The Owl

Courtney and I were feeding a neighbors cat around dusk.  As we were leaving, I heard “something” like a soft swoosh and looked up to see an owl gliding, just few feet above me, to the top of a nearby telephone pole.  The silhouette of the owl against the night sky was breathtaking and the wingspan was incredible.  Once I caught my breath (yes, I was startled but miraculously, I did not make a peep!), I pointed out the owl to Courtney and we stood and watched it, watching us, for several minutes.  She even hooted us good-bye.  I love living with wildlife!
