Note
I had an AOWN moment yesterday!
Towards the end of my walk with Barnacle and Inara, I saw an owl up in a tree, in a small park just a few blocks from our house. It was pretty cool, and I stared at it a while.
A bit further along, I saw two women sitting with binoculars. I asked them about the owl, and they told me the following story:
A tree blew over in the park a couple of days ago, falling across the trail I was walking on. Park officials came to remove the tree and discovered three owl babies (see below) in a cavity in the tree. They then spent the day building an artificial nest and hoisting it, containing the owl babies, up high on a neighboring tree. From then on, neighborhood folks took turns watching to see if the owl parents would find their relocated owl babies and be able to feed them. And today, they did! Supposedly, the owl babies will be fledgling and out the door before too long, so I'll be taking more walks here to take a look. I thought this was a very cool story at a time when cool stories seem hard to come by.
