GHO
Been yakking about my old friend's Great Horned Owl, and came across the picture above as I was going through the mass o' photos I have accumulated. I hope I can stumble across the Goshawk in my journey through snapshot land.

There is just something so mesmerizing about owls, they're just beautiful animals!
It looks like it could rip your nose right off.
becky: I love watching them fly. The back edges of the wings are fringed so they glide silently.
Chickie: The talons are what you have to keep your eye on.
Oh, boy!
I gotta email this post to David!
(Yes, he IS in the next romm...but, it's just easier than yelling!!!)
Cool pic! He has an owl as a pet???
How awesome! What a magnificent bird!
Jin: LOL at your comment, but you're not as bad as a coworker who admitted to emailing something to her husband once when they were at home. Why is this odd? He was sitting right next to her!!
Jin: I know I have some more tucked away, I'llpost when I find them. Make David read my blog.
Cherry: Kind fo a pet, but not really - you can't take the wild out of the bird and you have to keep a close eye on those talons. My friend was a biologist and the state Department of Natural Resources would have him foster wounded or sick animals.
EC: I e-mail stuff to people sitting in the same office - I like to have the paper trail (e-trail?) in case soemthing goes awry.

When I was a boy, my music teacher lived right up the street from me and across the street from the elementary school. Her son James had a great horned owl and a golden eagle in two large cages outside of his room. His room was the caboose of an old train, red with a small wood-burning stove. Very cool! We used to spend a reasonable amount of our time catching chipmonks and mice in live traps and nets to feed his birds. I hadn't thought of James and his birds for many years. Thanks for the reminder.
SF: You are more then welcome, just reciprocating for the great hunting stories. They remind me of our family safaris into the wilds of the Kettle Moraine.
